Have you seen the "XMonad deconstructed" videos? They're very well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63MpfyZUcrU (part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivdyLaH3PhY (part 2)
Yes, I have watched these and i agree with you. They are quite well done. I have found them very helpful. Sadly they don't touch much on X event handling within XMonad, which is what I am most interested in.
I'd like the editor/IDE to tell me the type of a thing, or at least the module it is defined in.
Leksah and EclipseFP are two options you might want to consider. You can find links to them, and information about other options here:
Leksah sound good, although perhaps a little "heavier" than I would like. I'm not a huge fan of eclipse, though I may take a look at eclipsefp.
I myself make do with querying the types in GHCi or Hayoo. I also installed the command-line version of Hoogle (see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle), which is very useful.
Thanks for this suggestion. The trouble starts for me when I don't know what package something is in. For example ... *Main> :t guard <interactive>:1:1: Not in scope: `guard' I think I looked it up in the index on hackage. It's times like that when I long for a hotkey combo that will tell me package and type info for the item under the cursor. Thanks, Jeff
