Hi Desai, The problem is that both searchList and searchEngineMap need to be just top-level definitions, with no indentation, like so: ... ++ [("M-s " ++ k, S.promptSearch P.defaultXPConfig f) | (k,f) <- searchList ] ++ [("M-S-s " ++ k, S.selectSearch f) | (k,f) <- searchList ] searchList :: [(String, S.SearchEngine)] searchList = [ ("g", S.google) , ("h", S.hoohle) , ("w", S.wikipedia) ] In the searchList case it does not even make syntactic sense to put searchList where you have it, at the end of an expression. In the case of searchEngineMap, the way you have wrote it is as if you are setting a field called 'searchEngineMap' within the configuration record, but the configuration record does not have such a field. Instead, you simply want to define a new function called searchEngineMap, which you can do by writing searchEngineMap method = M.fromList $ [ ((0, xK_g), method S.google) , ((0, xK_h), method S.hoogle) , ((0, xK_w), method S.wikipedia) ] unindented, by itself. I think there may be a few other errors in those configuration files but hopefully this will get you started down the right path. Feel free to ask for more help either here on this list, or in the #xmonad IRC channel on Freenode. If you are interested, it would probably also help you a lot to read just the first few chapters of a Haskell tutorial such as http://learnyouahaskell.com . -Brent On Sat, Oct 01, 2011 at 05:04:51AM -0500, Desai Shukla wrote:
These are my two attempts at getting Actions.Search to work: http://sprunge.us/TYfX http://sprunge.us/MXGH
The first paste is with just Haskell code, and the second is with what looks like syntactic sugar via the EZConfig module. I'm new I'm new to Haskell and Xmonad, and I'm unsure where to put the searchEngineMap method (constructor function?) lines in the first paste. I'm unsure where to put the searchList type declaration and list in the second. I'm lost. Help is appreciated.
