#9690: in GHCi map `:editNNN` to $EDITOR +NNN -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: heisenbug | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.8.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Unknown/Multiple Difficulty: Unknown | Type of failure: Blocked By: | None/Unknown Related Tickets: | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I suggest to treat GHCi REPL commands `:editNNN` (as well as equivalent abbreviations, like `:eNNN` ) where `NNN` is a natural number, as invocations of the text editor with a `+NNN` option. Rationale: When I see a type error in line 42 then I'd like to visit this line directly with `:e42`. Optionally one could implement `:eNNN:CCC` to also target the column `CCC` in that line. `emacs`, `vi` and `pico` all implement the option `+NNN` to land in the line `NNN`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9690 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
