- syntax highlighting, including highlighting of bracket's pair - fast access to help about identifier - auto-indenting with user-tuned style
Personally I consider these 3 essential, so I'd vote for them to be implemented in first place (in order as above). I think will test that code completion today - out of sheer curiosity ;)
i answer in cafe so that Thiago can see you preferences :) for me, compilation & errors navigation, syntax highlighting and code navigation is minimal required features set. help is actually replaced by code navigation - function's definition in Haskell typically contains appropriate help text (which is eventually extracted by Haddock and placed into html file). The only advantage of using pure html help is to omit all the unneeded information (implementation details and so on) and see beautiful formatted text with hyperlinks smart indentation is not easy for Haskell, i think. I don't even sure that myself has some strict indenting rules. moreover, with many edits of source files this again loses it's meaning i'm also curious about code completion - never worked with good one (after the MultiEdit's support for C language constructs :) ) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

Ups. That's that 'Replay to all' phenomena again ;)

For me it would be sufficient to increase indentation after few certain constructs (mostly those involving layout). Of course the indentation needs to be inceased in such a case according to layout rule instead of some fixed amount of whitespace.

I was growing up without code completion. Therefore it's somehow strange to let a computer insert some text instead of me. Like he knew better ;) But completion of function names from few libraries would be usefull after all..
