[Discussion] Disable indentation

[canonic-epicure]

Hello,

I'm complete emacs newbie, seeking for the help from community.

How I can disable the smart haskell indentation? I want the "TAB" just inserting 4 spaces, nothing else and "shift+TAB" moving the line 4 spaces to the left, if possible, nothing else.

The solution from #90

(add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook (lambda ()
            (make-local-variable 'tab-stop-list)
            (setq tab-stop-list (number-sequence 4 80 4))
            (setq indent-line-function 'indent-relative)
            (haskell-indentation-mode 0)))

does not work (I've put it into the ~/.spacemacs before the custom-set-variables thing)..

I've also tried running "haskell-indentation-mode" command, which shows "haskell-indentation-mode disabled" but indentation is still fancy.

I see you really do not like indentation as it works now. May I know the snipped of code that it failed to indent the way you would like?

Calling (haskell-indentation-mode 0) should disable indentation and it is a bug if it does not do it.

Where do I put this line? Or is it just a command to execute? If so, how do I provide the "0" argument?

I'm using spacemacs, pressing "alt + x" shows a long list of all available commands, then I'm typing "haskell-indentat" to narrow the list and then I can just hit enter to execute it. I can't supply the 0 argument - it is assumed to be the part of the command name.

When I just execute the command, I see "haskell-indentation-mode disabled" in the "minibuffer", but indentation is still controlled by something else.

I'd really like to just have a "normal", "dumb" indentation behavior with 4 spaces, available in any text editor. I've added:

(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(setq-default tab-width 4)
(setq indent-line-function 'insert-tab)

to my ~/.spacemacs, w/o any effect (still uses 8 spaces after disabling haskell-indenation-mode)...

This seems helped:

(defun my-tabs-setup ()   
    (setq tab-width 4)   
    (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)   
    (setq indent-for-tab-command 'insert-tab) 
)

(add-hook 'haskel-mode-hook 'my-tabs-setup)

Now I just need to configure shift+tab to do the standard action, and I foresee the indentation of selection will be a separate epic configuration saga in 5 tomes.
