Greetings,
So I find myself playing around with XMonad source code. I'm a long time
Vim user and I've made a tags file to help me navigate the source code.
I've got decent syntax highlighting.
What I lack is insight into the libs. I'd like the editor/IDE to tell me
the type of a thing, or at least the module it is defined in. Is this a
sensible question for haskell? I just don't want to have to hunt for where
lib functions are defined (tags take me around the xmonad sources with
drama).
So what editors/IDEs to people use for haskell to help with this? Or do
you all just keep everything in your massive brains? :-)
Cheers,
Jeff

Usually when I'm inspecting something, I just go :ghci % and then :i the
type I want. If by some chance I don't have a library installed that is
needed, I just search for a function or type on hayoo and browse the
hackage docs for that library.
There are ides for haskell, but I don't know how good they are. Yi is
written in haskell, but I don't know how good it is. Eclipsefp is
supposedly okay. I know I've seen some vim integration (haskellmode?) but
I don't know how well it works. But I have never felt the absense of these
tools in this language, personally.

There's just so much I don't know that I find myself wanting to look
something up every minute or so. If the editor supported me in this regard
I would really love it.

I tend to search for unknown symbols on "Hayoo", which searches
everything on Hackage (Haskell's public package repository):
http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html
I'd love to have a good Haskell IDE but I haven't found one that I've
succeeded at installing & running yet. (I don't know whether Yi etc. are
good because I failed to install it the last couple times I tried!)

Have you seen the "XMonad deconstructed" videos? They're very well done.

Leksah and EclipseFP are two options you might want to consider. You can
find links to them, and information about other options here:
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/IDE
I myself make do with querying the types in GHCi or Hayoo. I also installed
the command-line version of Hoogle (see
http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Hoogle), which is very useful.
