As proposed in: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.agda/5836 Do the following changes to agda.sty:

-\newcommand{\AgdaIndent}[1]{\quad} +\newcommand{\AgdaIndent}[1]{\;\;}

-\defaultcolumn{l} +\defaultcolumn{@{~}l@{~}}

Patch attached.

Should I push this? The modification of \defaultcolumn is certainly good.

For \AgdaIndent, I would not reduce the current space; I rather increased it to \newcommand{\AgdaIndent}[1]{\hspace*{1ex}}

I suggest to change only the \defaultcolumn, but I you think otherwise, I am fine with pushing the current patch (after all, it's your baby).

I mainly opened the ticket so people who care can discuss it, and added the patch so there would be some content.

I agree that with the change to default column the indentation is too small and should be increased, however it seems to me that \;\; adds slightly more indentation than \hspace*{1ex}?

Out of curiosity are you using it for a (beamer) presentation or a document? Maybe we see spaces differently cause text size isn't the same? I've only used it for documents so far.

It's not a big difference between the two and I'm fine with either, the current \quad is not enough though I think.

Ah, yes, I am using beamer.cls. I also found that \quad is not enough. When I tested \;\; now, it seemed indeed sufficient (more than I expected, was not \; supposed to be half-a-space character?!).

Ok, I go ahead and push the patch.
