I wrote a simple command that shows Go code coverage as a colorful overlay. Too lazy to extract it to a separate plugin.

- [go-cover.kak](https://github.com/TeddyDD/kakoune-dotfiles/blob/v2022.10.31/private/go-cover.kak)
- [go-cover.pl](https://github.com/TeddyDD/kakoune-dotfiles/blob/v2022.10.31/private/go-cover.pl)

Usage: set `go_cover_file` to name of coverage output (default: `cover.out`). Generate coverage. Run `go-cover-show`.
