haskell-process.el binds `C-c c` but should not

[jwiegley]

According to Emacs developer guidelines, modes should not bind the lowercase alphabetic space within the C-c keymap. This space is reserved for users (I have it bound to compile, for example, so that it works in all buffers). haskell-process.el binds this to haskell-process-cabal. This should be changed to some other binding, such as C-u C-c C-c.

Agreed.

Do you have a better suggestion what to bind this functionality to?

[jwiegley]

If C-c C-c is the "quick" version, meant to build, then C-u C-c C-c would be the "long" version, meant to refine interaction with Cabal. This would follow typical Emacs behavior based on several other packages.

Other than that, C-c C-X, where X is any letter not yet spoken for.

[gracjan]

Can you submit a pull requests that fixes this problem?

[jwiegley]

@gracjan I don't use the current version of haskell-mode, and I'm absolutely buried under my todo list. I'm afraid the only contribution I can offer is to make the problem and a potential solution known.

[gracjan]

Thanks for your help. It counts. The proper solution needs to wait on a volunteer.

I fail to see any binding in haskell-process.el.

It seems that haskell.el binds C-c C-c to haskell-process-cabal-build.

I think haskell-mode used to make that binding (and it was recommended), but it now seems to be C-c C-x.

[jwiegley]

Ah! Excellent. Yes, it is due to my using an older version to work around the current haskell-indentation bug:

    (define-key map (kbd "C-c c") 'haskell-process-cabal)
