Practical Go: Real-world advice for writing maintainable Go programs

I'd just like to be able to toggle javadoc, phpdoc, godoc visibility on and off entirely (not collapsed to a line, or a marker) just make them vanish until I summon them back.

I find them distracting when I'm reading the code but I don't want them not to exist either.

EDIT: Another thing I'd love to be able to do is 'tag' a variable with a synonym and have that appear next to it eveywhere.

so $strCstAcctRec (I wish that was fake but it's pretty much straight out the codebase I inherited..) would show up as $strCstAcctRec (CustomerAccountRecord).

There are a bunch of ergonomic features like that I've considered over the years, I might at some point try implementing some of them as an intellij plugin.

I've used an IDE that was aware of doxygen comments. Seems like that's close to what you want. You could right click and it'd show you the comment. I loved that IDE and it's long gone.
