# VS Code
Use the [VS Code Go] plugin, with the following configuration:
```json5
"go.useLanguageServer": true,
```
As of February 2020, `gopls` will be enabled by default in [VS Code Go].
To learn more, follow along with
[golang.vscode-go#1037](https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/issues/1037).
```json5
"gopls": {
// Add parameter placeholders when completing a function.
"ui.completion.usePlaceholders": true,
// If true, enable additional analyses with staticcheck.
// Warning: This will significantly increase memory usage.
"ui.diagnostic.staticcheck": false,
// For more customization, see
// see https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/blob/master/docs/settings.md.
}
```
To enable more detailed debug information, add the following to your VSCode settings:
```json5
"go.languageServerFlags": [
"-rpc.trace", // for more detailed debug logging
"serve",
"--debug=localhost:6060", // Optional: investigate memory usage, see profiles
],
```
See the section on [command line](command-line.md) arguments for more
information about what these do, along with other things like
`--logfile=auto` that you might want to use.
## Build tags and flags
Build tags and flags will be automatically picked up from `"go.buildTags"` and
`"go.buildFlags"` settings. In the rare case that you don't want that default
behavior, you can still override the settings from the `gopls` section, using
`"gopls": { "build.buildFlags": [] }`.
## Remote Development with `gopls`
You can also make use of `gopls` with the
[VS Code Remote Development](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview)
extensions to enable full-featured Go development on a lightweight client
machine, while connected to a more powerful server machine.
First, install the Remote Development extension of your choice, such as the
[Remote - SSH](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh) extension. Once
you open a remote session in a new window, open the Extensions pane
(Ctrl+Shift+X) and you will see several different sections listed. In the
"Local - Installed" section, navigate to the Go extension and click
"Install in SSH: hostname".
Once you have reloaded VS Code, you will be prompted to install `gopls` and other
Go-related tools. After one more reload, you should be ready to develop remotely
with VS Code and the Go extension.
