I've been using the latest and greatest version of leksah for the last couple of weeks and I wanted to give a short report on the things I've found.
Thanks for taking the time to write this report. Jeff Heard wrote:
First of all, it's crashed only once, and the error was an actual segfault, so I'm not sure what went wrong there. All in all, I like the eyecandy and have left it on for everything I do, but I've noticed that arrows have an extra space after them, no matter which arrow. Also, the candy for =<< and >>= is the same.
The extra space is a feature that you can switch on and off (-Trimming in the .candy file). It is "on" as standard to avoid possible problems with layout sensitiveness of Haskell and candy. The unicode signs for =<< and >>= can be set in the .candy file. We should find a reasonable default. Jeff Heard wrote:
Only one "missing feature" that I've noticed: regex find and replace. I'd like very much to be able to find and replace using regexes, as this is pretty much why I keep coming back to vi and emacs.
You are right. Find and replace is missing not only in this respect. We will add this to the wish list. Jeff Heard wrote:
I really really like the modules pane which gives me quick views into the doc of everything that's installed and the signatures. I wonder, though, could it be limited to the packages made available by the dependencies in configuring the current working package? That way, it would be easy to tell whether a dependency was missing.
This should be possible by selecting the "package" scope in the modules or search pane. Jeff Heard wrote:
I wonder if there's a way to setup the preferences so that autocomplete can be accelerator based (like Ctrl+Space) instead of constantly on, because I've noticed that occasionally I'll hit enter at the end of a line and have it autocorrect my last identifier incorrectly.
Go to Preferences/GUI Options and select "Complete only on hotkey" Jeff Heard wrote:
It'd be kind of neat if the error lines from the continuous background build showed up highlighted in the editor in some way, like they do in oh say Eclipse, but that's just a nice feature.
This will be much enhanced in the next version. The highligt part was completely rewritten when adding the debugger. Jeff Heard wrote:
Only other feature i'd like to see added is the ability to have multiple packages open at once, allow them to depend on each other, and handle configuring, building, and installing each of them be a one-step process.
Sorry, but this is currently not on our list. But if someone implements it, we will be very happy.
