+==============================================================================
+ *haskellmode-overview*
+1. Overview ~
+
+ The Haskell mode plugins provide advanced support for Haskell development
+ using GHC/GHCi on Windows and Unix-like systems. The functionality is
+ based on Haddock-generated library indices, on GHCi's interactive
+ commands, or on simply activating (some of) Vim's built-in program editing
+ support in Haskell-relevant fashion. These plugins live side-by-side with
+ the pre-defined |syntax-highlighting| support for |haskell| sources, and
+ any other Haskell-related plugins you might want to install (see
+ |haskellmode-resources|).
+
+ The Haskell mode plugins consist of three filetype plugins (haskell.vim,
+ haskell_doc.vim, haskell_hpaste.vim), which by Vim's |filetype| detection
+ mechanism will be auto-loaded whenever files with the extension '.hs' are
+ opened, and one compiler plugin (ghc.vim) which you will need to load from
+ your vimrc file (see |haskellmode-settings|).
+
+
+ *haskellmode-requirements*
+1.1 Runtime Requirements ~
+
+ The plugins require a recent installation of GHC/GHCi. The functionality
+ derived from Haddock-generated library indices also requires a local
+ installation of the Haddock documentation for GHC's libraries (if there is
+ no documentation package for your system, you can download a tar-ball from
+ haskell.org), as well as an HTML browser (see |haddock_browser|). If you
+ want to use the experimental hpaste interface, you will also need Wget.
+
+ * GHC/GHCi ~
+ Provides core functionality. http://www.haskell.org/ghc
+
+ * HTML library documentation files and indices generated by Haddock ~
+ These usually come with your GHC installation, possibly as a separate
+ package. If you cannot get them this way, you can download a tar-ball
+ matching your GHC version from http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/
+
+ * HTML browser with basic CSS support ~
+ For browsing Haddock docs.
+
+ * Wget ~
+ For interfacing with http://hpaste.org.
+
+ Wget is widely available for modern Unix-like operating systems. Several
+ ports also exist for Windows, including:
+
+ - Official GNU Wget (natively compiled for Win32)
+ http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/#downloading
+
+ - UnxUtils Wget (natively compiled for Win32, bundled with other ported
+ Unix utilities)
+ http://sourceforge.net/projects/unxutils/
+
+ - Cygwin Wget (emulated POSIX in Win32, must be run under Cygwin)
+ http://cygwin.com/packages/wget/

+==============================================================================
+ *haskellmode-settings*
+2. Settings ~
+
+ The plugins try to find their dependencies in standard locations, so if
+ you're lucky, you will only need to set |compiler| to ghc, and configure
+ the location of your favourite web browser. You will also want to make
+ sure that |filetype| detection and |syntax| highlighting are on. Given the
+ variety of things to guess, however, some dependencies might not be found
+ correctly, or the defaults might not be to your liking, in which case you
+ can do some more fine tuning. All of this configuration should happen in
+ your |vimrc|.
+>
+ " enable syntax highlighting
+ syntax on
+
+ " enable filetype detection and plugin loading
+ filetype plugin on
+<
+
+ *haskellmode-settings-main*
+2.1 GHC and web browser ~
+
+ *compiler-ghc* *ghc-compiler*
+ To use the features provided by the GHC |compiler| plugin, use the
+ following |autocommand| in your vimrc:
+>
+ au BufEnter *.hs compiler ghc
+<
+ *g:ghc*
+ If the compiler plugin can't locate your GHC binary, or if you have
+ several versions of GHC installed and have a preference as to which binary
+ is used, set |g:ghc|:
+>
+ :let g:ghc="/usr/bin/ghc-6.6.1"
+<
+ *g:haddock_browser*
+ The preferred HTML browser for viewing Haddock documentation can be set as
+ follows:
+>
+ :let g:haddock_browser="/usr/bin/firefox"
+<
+
+ *haskellmode-settings-fine*
+2.2 Fine tuning - more configuration options ~
+
+ Most of the fine tuning is likely to happen for the haskellmode_doc.vim
+ plugin, so you can check the current settings for this plugin via the
+ command |:DocSettings|. If all the settings reported there are to your
+ liking, you probably won't need to do any fine tuning.
+
+ *g:haddock_browser_callformat*
+ By default, the web browser|g:haddock_browser| will be started
+ asynchronously (in the background) on Windows or when vim is running in a
+ GUI, and synchronously (in the foreground) otherwise. These settings seem
+ to work fine if you are using a console mode browser (eg, when editing in
+ a remote session), or if you are starting a GUI browser that will launch
+ itself in the background. But if these settings do not work for you, you
+ can change the default browser launching behavior.
+
+ This is controlled by |g:haddock_browser_callformat|. It specifies a
+ format string which uses two '%s' parameters, the first representing the
+ path of the browser to launch, and the second is the documentation URL
+ (minus the protocol specifier, i.e. file://) passed to it by the Haddock
+ plugin. For instance, to launch a GUI browser on Unix-like systems and
+ force it to the background (see also |shellredir|):
+>
+ :let g:haddock_browser_callformat = '%s file://%s '.printf(&shellredir,'/dev/null').' &'
+<
+ *g:haddock_docdir*
+ Your system's installed Haddock documentation for GHC and its libraries
+ should be automatically detected. If the plugin can't locate them, you
+ must point |g:haddock_docdir| to the path containing the master index.html
+ file for the subdirectories 'libraries', 'Cabal', 'users_guide', etc.:
+>
+ :let g:haddock_docdir="/usr/local/share/doc/ghc/html/"
+<
+ *g:haddock_indexfiledir*
+ The information gathered from Haddock's index files will be stored in a
+ file called 'haddock_index.vim' in a directory derived from the Haddock
+ location, or in $HOME. To configure another directory for the index file,
+ use:
+>
+ :let g:haddock_indexfiledir="~/.vim/"
+<
+ *g:wget*
+ If you also want to try the experimental hpaste functionality, you might
+ you need to set |g:wget| before the |hpaste| plugin is loaded (unless wget
+ is in your PATH):
+>
+ :let g:wget="C:\Program Files\wget\wget.exe"
+<
+
+ Finally, the mappings actually use|<LocalLeader>|behind the scenes, so if
+ you have to, you can redefine|maplocalleader|to something other than '_'.
+ Just remember that the docs still refer to mappings starting with '_', to
+ avoid confusing the majority of users!-)
+
+==============================================================================
+ *haskellmode-compiler* *ghc*
+3. GHC Compiler Integration ~
+
+ The GHC |compiler| plugin sets the basic |errorformat| and |makeprg| to
+ enable |quickfix| mode using GHCi, and provides functionality for show
+ info (|_si|), show type (|_t| or mouse |balloon|), add type declaration
+ (|_T|), create tag file (|_ct|), and insert-mode completion
+ (|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|) based on GHCi browsing of the current and imported
+ modules.
+
+ To avoid frequent calls to GHCi, type information is cached in Vim. The
+ cache will be populated the first time a command depends on it, and will
+ be refreshed every time a |:make| goes through without generating errors
+ (if the |:make| does not succeed, the old types will remain available in
+ Vim). You can also unconditionally force reloading of type info using
+ |:GHCReload| (if GHCi cannot load your file, the type info will be empty).
+
+
+ In addition to the standard|quickfix| commands, the GHC compiler plugin
+ provides:
+
+ *:GHCReload*
+:GHCReload Reload modules and unconditionally refresh cache of
+ type info. Usually, |:make| is prefered, as that will
+ refresh the cache only if GHCi reports no errors, and
+ show the errors otherwise.
+
+ *:GHCStaticOptions*
+:GHCStaticOptions Edit the static GHC options for the current buffer.
+ Useful for adding hidden packages (-package ghc).
+
+ *:GHCi*
+:GHCi {command/expr} Run GHCi commands/expressions in the current module.
+
+ *_ct*
+_ct Create |tags| file for the current Haskell source
+ file. This uses GHCi's :ctags command, so it will work
+ recursively, but will only list tags for exported
+ entities.
+
+ *_opt*
+_opt Shows a menu of frequently used GHC compiler options
+ (selecting an entry adds the option as a pragma to the
+ start of the file). Uses popup menu (GUI) or :emenu
+ and command-line completion (CLI).
+
+ *_lang*
+_lang Shows a menu of the LANGUAGE options supported by GHC
+ (selecting an entry adds the language as a pragma to
+ the start of the file). Uses popup menu (GUI) or
+ :emenu and command-line completion (CLI).
+
+ *_si*
+_si Show extended information for the name under the
+ cursor. Uses GHCi's :info command. Output appears in
+ |preview-window| (when done, close with |:pclose|).
+
+ *_t*
+_t Show type for the name under the cursor. Uses cached
+ info from GHCi's :browse command.
+
+ *_T*
+_T Insert type declaration for the name under the cursor.
+ Uses cached info from GHCi's :browse command.
+
+ *haskellmode-XO* *haskellmode-omni-completion*
+CTRL-X CTRL-O Standard insert-mode omni-completion based on the
+ cached type info from GHCi browsing current and
+ imported modules. Only names from the current and from
+ imported modules are included (the completion menu
+ also show the type of each identifier).
+
+==============================================================================
+ *haskellmode-haddock* *haddock*
+4. Haddock Integration ~
+
+ Haskell mode integrates with Haddock-generated HTML documentation,
+ providing features such as navigating to the Haddock entry for the
+ identifier under the cursor (|_?|), completion for the identifier under
+ the cursor (|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U|), and adding import statements (|_i| |_im|
+ |_iq| |_iqm|) or module qualifier (|_.|) for the identifier under the
+ cursor.
+
+ These commands operate on an internal Haddock index built from the
+ platform's installed Haddock documentation for GHC's libraries. Since
+ populating this index takes several seconds, it should be stored as a
+ file called 'haddock_index.vim' in the directory specified by
+ |g:haddock_indexfiledir|.
+
+ Some commands present a different interface (popup menu or command-line
+ completion) according to whether the current Vim instance is graphical or
+ console-based (actually: whether or not the GUI is running). Such
+ differences are marked below with the annotations (GUI) and (CLI),
+ respectively.
+
+ |:DocSettings| shows the settings for this plugin. If you are happy with
+ them, you can call |:ExportDocIndex| to populate and write out the
+ documentation index (should be called once for every new version of GHC).
+
+ *:DocSettings*
+:DocSettings Show current Haddock-files-related plugin settings.
+
+
+ *haskellmode-indexing*
+4.1 Indexing ~
+
+ *:DocIndex*
+:DocIndex Populate the Haddock index from the GHC library
+ documentation.
+
+ *:ExportDocIndex*
+:ExportDocIndex Cache the current Haddock index to a file (populate
+ index first, if empty).
+
+
+ *haskellmode-lookup*
+4.2 Lookup ~
+
+ *_?*
+_? Open the Haddock entry (in |haddock_browser|) for an
+ identifier under the cursor, selecting full
+ qualifications from a popup menu (GUI) or via
+ command-line completion (CLI), if the identifier is
+ not qualified.
+
+ *_?1*
+_?1 Search Hoogle (using |haddock_browser|) for an
+ identifier under the cursor.
+
+
+ *_?2*
+_?2 Search Hayoo! (using |haddock_browser|) for an
+ identifier under the cursor.
+
+ *:IDoc*
+:IDoc {identifier} Open the Haddock entry for the unqualified
+ {identifier} in |haddock_browser|, suggesting possible
+ full qualifications.
+
+ *:MDoc*
+:MDoc {module} Open the Haddock entry for {module} in
+ |haddock_browser| (with command-line completion for
+ the fully qualified module name).
+
+ *:FlagReference*
+:FlagReference {s} Browse Users Guide Flag Reference for section {s}
+ (with command-line completion for section headers).
+
+
+ *haskellmode-editing*
+4.3 Editing ~
+
+ *_.*
+_. Fully qualify the unqualified name under the cursor
+ selecting full qualifications from a popup menu (GUI)
+ or via command-line completion (CLI).
+
+ *_iq* *_i*
+_i _iq Add 'import [qualified] <module>(<identifier>)'
+ statement for the identifier under the cursor,
+ selecting fully qualified modules from a popup menu
+ (GUI) or via command-line completion (CLI), if the
+ identifier is not qualified. This currently adds one
+ import statement per call instead of merging into
+ existing import statements.
+
+ *_iqm* *_im*
+_im Add 'import [qualified] <module>' statement for the
+ identifier under the cursor, selecting fully qualified
+ modules from a popup menu (GUI) or via command-line
+ completion (CLI), if the identifier is not qualified.
+ This currently adds one import statement per call
+ instead of merging into existing import statements.
+
+ *_ie*
+_ie On an 'import <module>' line, in a correctly loadable
+ module, temporarily comment out import and use :make
+ 'not in scope' errors to explicitly list imported
+ identifiers.
+
+ *haskellmode-XU* *haskellmode-user-completion*
+CTRL-X CTRL-U User-defined insert mode name completion based on all
+ names known to the Haddock index, including package
+ names. Completions are presented in a popup menu which
+ also displays the fully qualified module from which
+ each entry may be imported.
+
+ CamelCode shortcuts are supported, meaning that
+ lower-case letters can be elided, using only
+ upper-case letters and module qualifier separators (.)
+ for disambiguation:
+
+ pSL -> putStrLn
+ C.E.t -> Control.Exception.t
+ C.M.MP -> Control.Monad.MonadPlus
+
+ To reduce unwanted matches, the first letter of such
+ shortcuts and the first letter after each '.' have to
+ match directly.
+
+==============================================================================
+ *haskellmode-hpaste* *hpaste*
+5. Hpaste Integration ~
+
+ This experimental feature allows browsing and posting to
+ http://hpaste.org, a Web-based pastebin tailored for Haskell code.
+
+
+ *:HpasteIndex*
+:HpasteIndex Read the most recent entries from hpaste.org. Show an
+ index of the entries in a new buffer, where ',r' will
+ open the current highlighted entry [and ',p' will
+ annotate it with the current buffer].
+
+ *:HpastePostNew*
+:HpastePostNew Submit current buffer as a new hpaste entry.
+ [This, and ',p' above, are temporarily disabled,
+ needs update to new hpaste.org layout]
+
+==============================================================================
+ *haskellmode-resources*
+6. Additional Resources ~
+
+ An quick screencast tour through of these plugins is available at:
+
+ http://projects.haskell.org/haskellmode-vim/screencasts.html
+
+ Other Haskell-related Vim plugins can be found here:
+
+ http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Libraries_and_tools/Program_development#Vim
+
+ Make sure to read about Vim's other program-editing features in its online
+ |user-manual|. Also have a look at Vim tips and plugins at www.vim.org -
+ two other plugins I tend to use when editing Haskell are AlignPlugin.vim
+ (to line up regexps for definitions, keywords, comments, etc. in
+ consecutive lines) and surround.vim (to surround text with quotes,
+ brackets, parentheses, comments, etc.).
