a (free) monad, with Objective-C bindings, for "Workflow" actions.
for detailed examples, see the documentation on hackage https://hackage.haskell.org/package/workflow-osx or github (<http://sboosali.github.io/documentation/workflow-osx/index.html).
foreign dependencies always complicate the build process. it's known to work with the following:
-
OS
$ sw_vers ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.9.5 BuildVersion: 13F34
-
C compiler
$ gcc --version Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 6.0 (clang-600.0.51) (based on LLVM 3.5svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 Thread model: posix
-
Haskell compiler
$ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.10.1
exploit the free monad's flexibility to define platform-agnostic workflows
problem: windows (Linux/Windows) versus processes (OS X)
problem: keyboards. Apple keyboards don't have the Windows key, Windows keyboards don't have the Apple key. some keyboards have a dozen random extra unbound keys.
problem: currently, delays must be inserted manually. keyboard shortcuts in Emacs succeed with no delay. keyboard shortcuts in Chrome, like closing a tab with M-w
, may drop without a long delay (like 250ms). furthermore, different actions need different delays between them (e.g. inserting text into Chrome can be done without delay).
