Hi Guys,
I have been a very happy SE user for 12 years or so, mostly doing C/C++. I am trying to get back on my Haskell skills for new project after many years of break . I upgraded my Slickedit license to 2019 and downloaded the latest version. So far, I am extremely unhappy with my experience with SE2019 for Haskell. I wanted to ask if I am doing something wrong.
Below are list of my problems:
* [General] In Linux, the options window automatically resizes itself while you are going through options. Sometimes this resizing moves buttons (OK, Cancel, etc) outside of the screen, so you can never click them. The resize button is missing from the top left.
* The color coding is extremely weak. I cant get Slickedit to do color coding no matter what. (The only color coding that works are the comments and some keywords)
* Auto complete is not working as intended, it is not auto completing the symbols, but rather any text. (typing a function parameter from inside a function just shows bunch of texts that appeared before)
* The preview window is not working. I define function test1, then I call test1 from test2. When I move the cursor over test1 inside test2, the preview window shows nothing for test1
* it has no help/preview/etc for standard Haskell functions. Autocomplete also is not working for standard Haskell functions.
* The cursor automatically positions itself to keep typing under the latest indent (function, loop, etc). I move the cursor manually to the beginning of the line to start defining a new function. If I press enter because I want to add couple more lines of space from the previous function, then the cursor gets back to the middle of the screen. (I have an habit of pressing enter to add lines). I have to wrestle the cursor each time I want to define a new function.
As it is now, VS2019 for Haskell seems like barely an upgrade from notepad from 1998. Am I doing something wrong?
The file I am editing has .hs extension and I think SE2019 recognizes it as Haskell file no problem.
