Are there any new features?

Hi,

1. It definitely makes sense to be able to sort files in alphabetical order. It should be quite easy to implement (this feature is purely client-side). I will work on it this week.

2. haskell-code-explorer explicitly does not support modifications of the source code. It is a trade-off that makes the architecture of haskell-code-explorer much simpler than that of a full-blown IDE.

3. When you click on an identifier, the JavaScipt application adds a URL of the current line (e.g., /package/base-4.12.0.0/show/GHC/Conc/Signal.hs#L69) to browser history and then shows the definition site of the identifier. So, it is possible to use browser back button or Alt/Option + Left Arrow shortcut key (in Chrome and Firefox) to return to the previously browsed file.

4. Integration with code editors is possible, but it would require significant effort (#32).

   There are development tools for Haskell that are specifically designed to add code intelligence features (go to definition, type and documentation on hover, code completion) to existing code editors:

   https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine works with VS Code, Vim and Emacs
   https://github.com/rikvdkleij/intellij-haskell is a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA

thank you, this project is really good, even better than haskell-ide-engine, come on

6954dbf adds an option to sort files by name/type. By default, files are sorted by name (in alphabetical order).
