Prefs allow the user to customize the line-editing interface. They are read by default from ~/.haskeline; to override that behavior, use readPrefs and runInputTWithPrefs.

Each line of a .haskeline file defines one field of the Prefs datatype; field names are case-insensitive and unparseable lines are ignored. For example:

 editMode: Vi
 completionType: MenuCompletion
 maxhistorysize: Just 40

The default preferences which may be overwritten in the .haskeline file:

 defaultPrefs = Prefs {bellStyle = AudibleBell,
                      maxHistorySize = Just 100,
                      editMode = Emacs,
                      completionType = ListCompletion,
                      completionPaging = True,
                      completionPromptLimit = Just 100,
                      listCompletionsImmediately = True
                    }
