I use Leksah and have done since I started contributing to it. The best way to make it work for you is to use Leksah to fix what you don't like about Leksah ;-) Failing that giving good feedback about bugs and missing features is the next best thing. On 3 Aug 2010, at 18:48, David Virebayre wrote:
Trying code completion in comments on string constants, for example. Code completion makes the text jump if you're editing near the bottom of the editor area.
You could turn on Edit Prefs -> GUI Options -> Complete only on Hotkey Default hotkey is Ctrl+Space
I like the "tocandy" feature but then it breaks alignment if you open the file in another editor. Something probably fixable by editing the candy file.
Just out of interest which of the candy replacements caused problems. Some of them (such as ->) already are set to include spaces to pad out differences. You can turn candy off by unchecking Configuration -> To Candy Does your existing editor handle candy better? If so how?
I'am a bit lost between Workspace and Package, especially when all I want is write a quick single-source haskell program.
We are planning to improve this by adding a default workspace and/or adding messages to prompt users if they have not got a workspace or package open. Basically to get started on a app Workspace -> New Workspace (this file contains a list of packages to open) I think most users probably only ever need one workspace file. Next if you have a .cabal file already... Panes -> Workspace (to show the workspace pane) Right click in the workspace Pane and select Add Package Or if you want to create a new package... Package -> New Package Select a folder whose name matches the desired project name If you just click Save down the bottom you will get a very basic executable package with a Main module (but no main function) To switch between packages in your workspace just double click on it in the Workspace pane.
That's all I can think of right now, I've exagerated a bit when I said "unusable". Leksah is going to be an awesome editor, it's just not ready yet for me.
Thanks for the feedback, please let us know if you think of anything else. As well as the google forum we now also have #leksah on IRC. Hamish
