Dont most IDEs solve this.

I do C# for my day job, if I have an interface I put cursor on it and hit a key and go to the definition, whatever file it's in. Another key will cycle the usages of the interface.

This has been solved for years. More recently we've had things like Peek as well.

But if you have to rely on an IDE, it's hard to innovate in language design.

Rust does have rust-analyzer, but it uses piles of RAM and often just doesn't work. I'll periodically try it for a few days and give up on it again. Maybe it's a bug in Kate's LSP support.

I have been using rust-analyzer with vscode (on small programs) and it has been working reliably for me.

Working IDEs do, but Go's PLS doesn't, and that's part of the GP's complaints:

That is why i made the switch to Goland, even if i switched to VSCode from the Jetbrains Products before.

Sure its a bit sluggish in comparison (well only when indexing really), but finally i do not have to worry about not finding something or import-completion breaking every 2 weeks etc.

Just switch, you will stop thinking about your setup and just work instead.
