# ⎘
$ opam install merlin utop ocp-indent dune ocamlformat

3. TODO Usage

This module’s usage documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

  • The following files should have syntax highlighting support: .ml{i,p,y,}, .eliom{i,}, jbuild, dune, opam
  • merlin-mode is activated whenever a .merlin file is found (including in a parent directory) and ocamlmerlin executable is present
  • Line-based auto-indentation is provided by ocp-indent, if it is available.

3.1. Commands

Command Key Description
merlin-type-enclosing <localleader> t display type under point
tuareg-find-alternate-file <localleader> a switch between .ml and .mli
merlin-locate g d lookup definition

4. TODO Configuration

This module’s configuration documentation is incomplete. Complete it?

  • If :completion company is enabled then autocomplete is provided by merlin.
  • When :checkers syntax is enabled then flycheck-ocaml is activated to do on-the-fly syntax/type checking via merlin, otherwise this is only done when the file is saved.
  • Spell checking is activated in comments if :checkers spell is active.
  • A REPL is provided if utop is installed and :tools eval is active.
  • If :editor format is enabled, the ocamlformat executable is available and there is an .ocamlformat file present then format-all-buffer is bound to ocamlformat, otherwise to ocp-indent.
  • If :editor multiple-cursors is enabled then identifiers can be refactored with v R and multiple cursors (this correctly matches identifier occurrences according to scope, it is not purely a textual match).
