No idea why it'd be a problem, pango works fine for me on Linux 32-bit. There are a bunch of OS X issues open on GitHub so you might want to browse through and pipe in for some of them. If you pop into IRC, I think ethercrow uses OS X and he might be able to help you. > I tried to look at some documentation...

I'm not sure what documentation bug has to do with the Pango issue.

I hope to improve it myself but I won't have time to sit down at it for the next few weeks. Of course, anyone is welcome and encouraged to contribute to it. If you did something others might struggle with later, do document it! Regarding key configurations: I never used cua but the default key map only has the keys which are default to its respective editor by default. If cua has HOME and END bound by default and the keymap does not, the keymap should probably be updated. Let me know if this is the case and what the keys should do, or make a pull request on GitHub adding the functionality. Yi won't automagically load anything from the contrib. Roughly the way start-up process works is that it starts by checking ~/.config/yi/yi.hs for any changes and compiling and using that file. This means that if you want to use someone else's config as-is, you could either replace your yi.hs with their config entirely. To provide an example, a very bare-bones config can be found at [1]. You could either copy+paste the contents into your yi.hs or you could open your yi.hs then 'import qualified Yi.Config.Users.Amy as A' and either re-use part of the config or do something like 'main = A.main'. > > Thanks > In the future, you might also want to seek help from the #yi channel on Freenode.
