Vim plugin

Copy vim/ftplugin/go/iferr.vim as ~/.vim/ftplugin/go/iferr.vim.

It defines :IfErr command for go filetype. It will insert if err != nil { block at next line of the cursor.

Before:

package foo

import "io"

func Foo() (io.Reader, error) { // the cursor on this line.
}

Run :IfErr then you will get:

package foo

import "io"

func Foo() (io.Reader, error) {
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
} // new cursor is at here.
