Autocomplete unimported packages

[anjmao]

One of the most needed feature which I missed from using vscode-go without lsp is being able to get autocompletion for unimported packages. Ideally typing fmt. should show autocompletion even if fmt package is not imported and after I select completion item it should add that import. Currently it is possible to get autoimport only if full expression is provided. For example I get import only if I write fmt.Print and hit save.

I'm so lacking this feature 😢
@anjmao it works after saving because goimports imports the fmt package. After the package is imported autocompletion works fine.
It's so sad that vs code is superior to vim in code completion in 2019

Try this as a cheap workaround:

inoremap <silent> . .<esc>h:exec "silent GoImport ".expand("<cword>")<cr>la
