haskell-decl-scan-mode
is a minor mode which performs declaration
scanning and provides M-x imenu support (see (emacs)Imenu for
more information).
For non-literate and TeX-style literate scripts, the common convention that top-level declarations start at the first column is assumed. For Bird-style literate scripts, the common convention that top-level declarations start at the third column, ie. after ‘> ’, is assumed.
When haskell-decl-scan-mode
is active, the standard Emacs
top-level definition movement commands (see (emacs)Moving by
Defuns) are enabled to operate on Haskell declarations:
Move to beginning of current or preceding declaration
(beginning-of-defun
).
Move to end of current or following declaration (end-of-defun
).
Select whole current or following declaration (mark-defun
).
Moreover, if enabled via the option
haskell-decl-scan-add-to-menubar
, a menu item “Declarations” is
added to the menu bar listing the scanned declarations and allowing to
jump to declarations in the source buffer.
It’s recommended to have font lock mode enabled (see (emacs)Font
Lock) as haskell-decl-scan-mode
ignores text highlighted
with font-lock-comment-face
.
As usual, in order to activate haskell-decl-scan-mode
automatically for Haskell buffers, add haskell-decl-scan-mode
to haskell-mode-hook
:
(add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'haskell-decl-scan-mode)
haskell-decl-scan-mode
enables the use of features that build
upon imenu
support such as Speedbar Frames
(see (emacs)Speedbar) or the global “Which Function” minor mode
(see (emacs)Which Function).
In order to enable which-function-mode
for Haskell buffers you
need to add the following to your Emacs initialization:
(eval-after-load "which-func" '(add-to-list 'which-func-modes 'haskell-mode))
Haskell-mode comes with declaration scanning support. This means that if you enable Haskell support for speedbar:
(speedbar-add-supported-extension ".hs")
And open speedbar with
M-x speedbar
It gives a listing of each module and under each module:
Imports Instances Data types Classes Bindings
You will get a bar that looks like this:
~/Projects/ace/src/ACE/ 0:<+> Types 0:[+] Combinators.hs 0:[-] Datalog.hs 1: {-} Classes 2: > ToTerm 1: {-} Imports 2: > ACE.Types.Syntax 2: > Database.Datalog 1: {-} Instances 2: {+} ToTerm A 2: {+} ToTerm Co to ToTerm Gen 2: {+} ToTerm Intransitive to ToTerm N 2: {+} ToTerm P 2: {+} ToTerm Quotation to ToTerm Un 2: {+} ToTerm V 0:[-] Html.hs 1: {+} Imports 1: {+} Instances 1: > mtoMarkup 1: > toMarkupm 1: > wrap 0:[-] Parsers.hs 1: {+} Imports 1: {-} Datatypes 2: > ACEParser 0:[+] Pretty.hs 0:[+] Tokenizer.hs
The hierarchy is expandable/collapsible and each entry will jump to the line in the right file when clicked/selected.
