Details

With recent releases of Zeus many Go specific language features have been added.

While Zeus is native to Windows, it also runs well on Linux using the Wine application launcher.

For example, Dr. Ivo Balbaert, author of the The Way To Go programming book, has some very nice things to say about his experience of using Zeus on Linux in the The Gopher Times and on his blog.

To have zeus automatically run the Go fmt each time the file is saved refer to this Zeus macro.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
For Zeus to work with Go it is assumed Go has been installed on the machine. For more details on how to setup and install Go please read this tutorial.

Not only does Zeus comes pre-configured for the Go language with features like syntax highlighting, code folding, smart indenting etc, but the built-in support for Exuberant CTAGS also means the integrated class browser, code navigation and code completion will also work for this language. Just create project/workspace, add in the project source files and Zeus will do the rest. Zeus can also use gocode as an alternative to the ctags autocomplete. For more details on how to configure gocode refer to this video. To see these and other features in action, just download the fully functional trial version and take it for a test drive today. NOTE: The class browsing and code completion features use the tags information produced by Exuberant CTAGS and Zeus automatically generates this information for all files contained in the current project/workspace.

Zeus also has built-in support for the Go build, fix, format, rewrite, run and vet commands.

• To build a Go file use the Compiler, Compile menu
• To fix a Go file use the Macros, Fix Go file menu
• To format a Go file use the Macros, Format Go file menu
• To rewrite a Go file use the Macros, Rewrite Go file menu
• To run a Go file use the Macros, Run Go file menu
• To vet a Go file use the Macros, Vet Go file menu

To have zeus automatically run the Go fmt each time the file is saved refer to this Zeus macro.

In addition, the above menu commands can be bound directly to the keyboard using the Options, Editor Options menu.
