completion of symbols in current module when not compiling?

I agree we need better handling in such case by ghc-mod, by company-ghc, or both.
I have no specific idea for now though.

As for the last question, company-dabbrev-code might help, which is included in company-mode.
Quote from docstring:

dabbrev-like `company-mode' back-end for code.
The back-end looks for all symbols in the current buffer that aren't in
comments or strings."

See https://github.com/iquiw/company-ghc#4note for the example setting.

beautiful, that did the trick. Unfortunately it seems to extend it to all buffers - ie, anything that's in any currently open buffer is a target, which isn't quite what I want. Still, too many options is better than not enough. Thanks!

company-backends can be buffer local.
If you set it by e.g. M-: (setq-local company-backends '(company-dabbrev-code)), it won't affect to other buffers.

Sorry, I misunderstood your comment.

I think company-dabbrev-code-other-buffers can control the behavior though I have not tried it.
