Description

There are three interesting LSP spec features that appear to be missing from KLS:

  1. goto definition (KLS says it exists via server capabilities but the VsCode plugin (0.2.20) does not show the feature enabled in the Go menu.
  2. goto declaration (no declarationProvider support indicated via server capabilities)
  3. goto implementations (no implementationsProvider support indicated in server capabilities)

@fwcd can you address #1 and provide an off the cuff pseudo code solution for the other two to expedite PRs to address these issues?

Research direction

Start by inspecting KLS server capabilities and the VSCode plugin version 0.2.20, focusing on goto definition, declaration, and implementations support. Compare the advertised capabilities with the Go menu and LSP behavior; done means the requested capabilities are correctly implemented and exposed, with the remaining two features documented clearly enough for follow-up PRs.
