I don't think that globally changing the user's visual preferences is
the way to go. Wouldn't it be possible to make the tabs just a little
bit wider?

It would be very nice to be able to right-click (or double click) on
some name in modules browser and be able to insert into edited source
where the cursor was last standing with the imports fixed.

It seems that this helper doesn't understand qualified names. On a
hello-world project if I do "fromList [(1, 2)]" then it fixes the
import allright. If I instead write "Data.Hashtable.fromList" then it
says something like "Identifier Hashtabl not found in imported
packages".

Thanks. That helped. Shame there isn't a checkbox for that.

This post contains some critique, but I really appreciate the work you
have done so far on the IDE.
