I wanted to this the way yo did, by repeatedly applying functions, but I didn't dare to because I like to mess up and spend some minutes debugging signatures, may I ask what your IDE setup is for the LSP-Hints with Haskell?
Setting up on my PC was a little bit of a pain because it needed matching ghc and ghcide versions, so I hadn't bothered doing it on my Laptop yet.

I use neovim with haskell-tools.nvim plugin. For ghc, haskell-language-server and others I use nix which, among other benefits makes my development environment reproducible and all haskellPackages are built on the same version so there are no missmatches.

But, as much as I love nix, there are probably easier ways to setup your environment.

I just checked and I have haskell-tools.nvim on my PC but it somehow crashes the default config of the autocompletion for me, which I am too inexperienced to debug. I'll try it nonetheless, since I don't have autocompletion on the laptop anyways, thank you for the suggestion!

Ah, well, I have a bit of a weird setup. GHC is 9.8.4, built from git. I'm using HLS version 2.9.0.1 (again built from git) under Emacs with the LSP and flycheck packages. There are probably much easier ways of getting it to work :)

I envy emacs for all of its modes, but I don't think I'm relearning the little I know about vi. Thank you for the answer on the versions and building!
