Hi, I built yi yesterday (I tried to get it running 3 years ago already, 
but I heard that now yi was much more mature) but I have plenty of problems:

Today I was unable to get yi -fpango working... when launching it from the 
terminal it was just waiting there, stuck until I'd ^C it
I tried to see what was going wrong by running "strace yi -fpango" but by 
running it inside strace, yi launched just fine

I tried to look at some documentation... I don't get why there's a problem 
with it (probably due to Dyre?): I dug up the old cabal issue, and it seems 
that it's been solved:

https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/649

is the resolution incorrect?

anyhow, I ran

cabal install --force-reinstall --reinstall -fdochack yi -fpango

this fixed the problem I mentioned at the beginning, but I have no idea 
where the documentations has been installed, neither yi's README nor 
http://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/ have any hint

I looked into ~/.cabal: there're the share/ and packages/ directory that 
seems to be the only ones that could contain documentation, but inside docs 
are nowhere to be found

(obviously, I came back empty handed also by looking at "man yi" or 
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/yi-0.7.0/docs/Yi.html )

when opening a file (I'm using the sample cua-config) I was mystified that 
END and HOME keys were not working... I've seen another message recently on 
the mailing list about it
assuming that these sample configs are barebone on purpose, I installed 
yi-contrib hoping that some of these configurations might be usable 
out-of-the-box, but I have no idea where these configs were installed
nor if yi is supposed to have an automated way to load them (without 
documentation, everything is much harder... I think that all these issues 
ultimately boil down to this)

Thanks
