Installation

Get started quickly with stdsym:

go install github.com/lotusirous/gostdsym/stdsym@latest

Create a handy gdoc alias for instant symbol lookups:

alias gdoc="stdsym |fzf | xargs go doc "

If you want to view the results on pkg.go.dev and preview them in go doc, use this alias. This example is for macOS, where the open command opens the link in the default browser

alias gd='stdsym -web | fzf --prompt "Symbols> " --preview "go doc \$(echo {} | sed s/#/./g)" --bind "enter:become( echo "https://pkg.go.dev/{}" |xargs open)"'
