The old comint interface and new λ one -- when does which kick in

There are quite some people out there using inf-haskell (comint) and larger number of interactive-haskell-mode users.

1. Start in a foo.hs file 2. Load file 3. I get the lambda interface

Instead M-x run-haskell I get old interface

How do I get one uniform interface?

By not using run-haskell?

:-)

I figured that much out; viz that even if I dont need a file immediately I need to create a dummy hs file and load it.

...

I load up a file in Emacs. I use C-c C-l to load the file (which starts a new project if need be), and C-c C-r to reload it if I've changed it.

I do have various customisations enabled (e.g. using structured-haskell-mode) but that's fundamentally how I interact with a ghci process (though ebal is definitely handing for setting up sandboxes and installing dependencies).

Sorry couldn't quite parse last sentence

structured-haskell-mode aims to provide node-based editing support for Haskell code (ala paredit for Lisps); ebal is another mode that helps running cabal-install or stack. Most of the rest of my customisations is more about keybindings (and various failed experiments like code folding that I tried but no longer use); haskell-mode is fairly usable out-of-the-box. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com http://IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
