Hello,

Is it possible to run haskell program in emacs without typing "main" in the ghci buffer? Assuming "main" function exists of course. Or, maybe automate sending "main\n" string to ghci buffer input. In other words, I want edit/run/see result style session.

Assuming you're using haskell-mode, does M-x inferior-haskell-load-and-run do what you want? You can of course define a shortcut for it: (define-key haskell-mode-map "\C-l" 'inferior-haskell-load-and-run) If you don't want to load the file, just run main: (defun haskell-main () (interactive) (inferior-haskell-send-command (inferior-haskell-process) ":main")) (This a very simple version; there're many possible variations; for instance, adding (swith-to-haskell) at the end). HTH, jao
