3 Getting Started

If you are reading this, you have most likely already managed to install Haskell Mode in one way or another.

Most of Haskell Mode’s settings are configurable via customizable variables (see (emacs)Easy Customization, for details). You can use

M-x customize-group RET haskell to browse the haskell customization sub-tree.

One of the important setting you should customize is the haskell-mode-hook variable (see (emacs)Hooks) which gets run right after the haskell-mode major mode is initialized for a buffer. You can customize haskell-mode-hook by M-x customize-variable RET haskell-mode-hook. It’s highly recommended you set up indentation to match your preferences; See Indentation, for more details about the indentation modes included with Haskell Mode.
