vscode: Move Go code (type/function) to other file

How to move a function/type from one Go file to an other Go file in vscode?

... and the IDE should update all usages of the moved function/type ...

In the past I used Python and PyCharm, and it supported this kind of refactoring.

It seems that this feature (the move-refactoring) hasn't been implemented in VSCode yet. The only workaround that just came into my mind is this.
You can use the cmd gomvpkg to move a package to a new one. Thanks to this, if you have only the function within the file you should be good to go. It should also update the import statements (make sure to double-check them anyway). I know that it's boring in fact I keep copying/pasting functions between packages as it's faster.

It seems that this feature is already supported in Goland, so you can give it a try maybe if you wish.

Let me know!
