haskell-vim-proto's Issues

Mac OS X support

Does this bundle work with the Vim shipped with OS X?

Consider fzf.vim instead of ctrl-p

I know fzf isn't written in the favorite language of Haskellers (it's a Go program) but it is statically typed and faster than ctrl-p. The vim plugin I use for it is here: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

It's really a matter of taste though, so feel free to just close this!

Extraction of syntax files.

Is there any chance that the syntax files in this project could be extracted into its own repository?

It would be really convenient for people who wants maintained syntax files for Haskell, Cabal, and so forth without all the remaining parts of the repository.

incorrect highlighting for multiply-nested TH splices / quasi-quotes

Highlighting chokes on code that has multiple nested levels of splices and quasiquotes, like in this example:

mkServer :: String -> String -> [Name] -> ExpQ
mkServer pre post rqNames =
    [e|makeServer
        $(listE
            [ [| impl (undefined :: $(conT rqName)) |]
            | rqName <- rqNames
            ]) |]

Highlighting picks up the beginning of the [e| quote correctly, but then fails to recognize the inner quote ([| impl ...), interpreting its closing bracket as the closing bracket for the outer quote.

Broken syntax highlighting with infix functions in pattern guards

For instance, given

f 1 = 1
f n | n `elem` [2, 3] = 2

yields

(third line just for comparison)

vim 8.0.1056, syntax/haskell.vim just fetched from your repo. Wish I knew what other info could help!

Make cabal.vim upstreamed

I have created vim/vim#1777 to merge the two separate changes to cabal.vim v1.3 . What's your opinion on making the change upstreamed to benefit more users?

ghc-mod deprecated

This is less about the repo itself, and more about the original article.

You recommend using ghc-mod.
But installing it errs out, which I have found is due to the package no longer being maintained: https://github.com/DanielG/ghc-mod

I assume I could find an older LTS stack to get it working.
However, I'd like to know if you have a newer recommended setup.
