Binding some function to a key

Hi,

I would like to start using Yi.  I found this tutorial on the web.

http://www.nobugs.org/developer/yi/example-helloworld.html

As I understand the tutorial is outdated and quite a few things have
changed since then.  Is there something more up to date on the web
somewhere?

One question in particular.  I defined some function.  How can I get
access to that, so that I can do "M-x myFunction"?  I found some hint
from 2008 that I should look into the Yi.Yi module... but couldn't
find a Yi.Yi module.  I guess that hint is old, too.

I also tried to bind M-r to some function.  It complies, but I must
nevertheless do something wrong, as M-r is still not recognised as a
valid key.

I attached my ~/.yi/yi.hs below.

I can remember that when I heard from Yi the first time, one of the
selling points was, that you could recompile your configuration file
on the fly -- just the same way as it works with Xmonad.  I love this
feature in Xmonad, but I can't find a "recompile"-function or anything
similar in the Yi-index on hackage.  Is it called something different?

Thanks for your help.

Thomas

Re: Binding some function to a key

Hi,

We have some example configs in
http://code.haskell.org/yi/src/Yi/Users/ I have an example of how to
bind a key (C-c n) to a function in my
config(http://code.haskell.org/yi/src/Yi/Users/Anders.hs). I hope this
helps with some of the problems :)

cheers,
Anders

Edit  ~/.yi/local/Env.hs and put your function there.

example:

module Env where

import Yi

hello :: EditorM Int
hello = return 123

Look into src/Yi/Eval.hs to understand what's going on.

Maybe you could file a bug report?

The related code should be in Yi.Eval if you feel like fixing it :)

Issue 322 in yi-editor: Yi.Eval does not update completion list for interpreted modules?

Status: Accepted
Owner: gwern0
Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Low

New issue 322 by gwern0: Yi.Eval does not update completion list for  
interpreted modules?
http://code.google.com/p/yi-editor/issues/detail?id=322

To use ireaderMode I edited Yi.Eval to read

     LHI.setImportsQ [("Yi", Nothing), ("Yi.Keymap",Just "Yi.Keymap"),  
("Yi.Mode.IReader",Nothing)]

Originally I thought this was just broken, but it turns out that M-x  
ireadMode does in fact work - it just will not show up in the completions  
and anyone going on that will be misled.

See thread:
