The way it defaults to now is that the cursor stays in the topmost editing half of the split screen, and I inevitably begin typing and mess up my code and have to do some backspacing and then mouse over to the bottom half.

:)

I checked on #haskell and #emacs last night, and someone suggested either "doing it with elisp" or keyboard macros, but I'm not sure how to do the first, and I think the second is not what I'm looking for.

I'd like for haskell-mode to otherwise remain the same, and to still use the same C-c C-l key sequence, but I'd just like it to always be set up to add the step in the load sequence of jumping the cursor focus down to the lower half of the split for me. From my .emacs;

;Default behaviour is to always jump to the GHCi window. ;Jump back automatically unless errors. (defadvice haskell-ghci-load-file (after name) (other-window 1)) (ad-activate 'haskell-ghci-load-file t)

Thanks! However, this doesn't do anything at all after adding it to my .emacs. Or else maybe it's a problem with the formatting? It looks like parts of the code got line wrapped in replying to my first email. I tried various combinations of moving the various lines around and nothing works. Is the indentation significant in elisp? Anyone know how to get this working? (Gwern, sorry for the double post, I forgot to press Reply All the first time and only mailed my response to you)

Aside from the comments, which go to end of line but got broken in this case, no; all that matters is the parens. I suspect it may depend strongly on what version of emacs you're running though. Thanks for your comments. After reading them I had subscribed to the emacs mailing list for my platform/version, but it seems to be really low traffic.

Thank goodness this list came through for me.
