Give more hints how to use this mode

andreasabel commented 6 years ago

Please detail a bit in the README how this mode is supposed to be used. What is the workflow? A walk through by example would be nice.

It is very basic. You move your cursor over the position you want to apply a hint and then press the key combination which then performs the hint.

For complicated files with CPP in this might fail silently.

Is there something in particular you are having problems with?

Well, I do not even see any hints I could apply. I would have expected some kind of visualization where hints can be applied. It seems like I have to do this workflow:

Run hlint and generate report.html
Open this report in a browser and look through the hints
Open a file in emacs, locate the correct line and press C-c , r
Repeat this for my 300 files and 700 hints

Is that correct?

(And, as you said for complicated files with CPP it does not do anything anyway. I guess 90% of Agda's source files fall in this category.)
