Re: How to use ess-fix-EQ-assign

Douglas Bates — 2012-05-18T16:08:05

Hmm.  Now it seems to work.  The previous time I tried it didn't do
anything, perhaps due to a region I had active?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Doug,

Does this work for you?

M-x ess-fix-EQ-assign

space bar should correct one at a time or bang (!) to replace all.

HTH,

Sorry to keep asking versions of the same questions - the memory and
the knees are the first things to go as you get older.  :-)

I was sent an R source file where the author uses = for assignment.  I
would like to replace the assignment ='s only by <- and I know there
are clever ways in ESS of doing this but I can't seem to get them
working.  Can someone point me in the correct direction?

Hi Michael:

It's hard to say exactly with the limited information that you provided. 
  But, from 5.4 to 12.04-2 is a pretty dramatic leap;
nearly 3 years of development and 10-12 releases.  So, it would
not surprise me if a few tweaks were necessary.  Also, you might
want to consider the current development version which has a few
bug fixes for XEmacs that are not in 12.04-2  See
http://ess.r-project.org/index.php?Section=download
for more details.

Rename tooltip-show-at-point to ess-tooltip-show-at-point

Leo — 2012-05-17T17:56:42

Hello,

I have just been bitten by this name clash: tooltip-show-at-point. I
wonder if it makes sense to rename tooltip-show-at-point to
ess-tooltip-show-at-point. If you think that function is general enough
please propose to emacs upstream. Thanks.

Dear Sir,

I just upgraded from ESS 5.4 to ESS 12.04-2 when I started XEmacs, I got an error message (but I forgot to copy it down). I used ESS+XEmacs for R and I have been using the init.el file provided by John Fox that I downloaded from his website. Once I upgraded the ESS, there is problem to initialize XEmacs. Can I still use the old init.el ? Do I need to adjust the init.el file? Please help.

Warm Regards

Michael

Re: Cannot disable args from showing in minibuffer

David — 2012-05-16T07:24:15

Thank you for your response.  I read the new features section but I didn't realize I needed to add "nil".  I am only an ESS novice but I got into the habit of disabling the args because my functions would expand the minibuffer to half the window size to show my 20 or so args.  It is just a personal preference for disabling it.

Thanks again.

A general advice, if something went unexpected in a new version, read
the new features section. All this stuff is documented there. Eldoc was
redesigned and moved into the core. You can deactivate it by customizing
ess-use-eldoc or just by:

(setq ess-use-eldoc nil)

But, why would you like to disable it in the first place?

Interesting. I though functions argument help and eldoc where always
only for R. It probably just accidentally worked for S+ before. It
should be straightforward to adjust the code for S+.

The key is ess--funargs-command which contains the R code executed for
argument retrieval. The interface is not settled and most likely will
change slightly in the next release. You can still try to come up with
alternative simple version of that code for S+. It should return a
vector with at least two strings: package of the function and argument
string.

I will try to get an S+ in near future. What is the version you are
using? And what is the elisp code responsible for that?

Re: Cannot disable args from showing in minibuffer

Vitalie Spinu — 2012-05-16T07:53:53

Instead of disabling the eldoc try

(setq ess-eldoc-abbreviation-style 'aggressive)

This will try to intelligently abbreviate the doc string and also
truncate it to fit into one line minibuffer.

If you don't want to abbreviate but only truncate do:

(setq eldoc-echo-area-use-multiline-p nil)

See the docs of these variables for more.

Cheers, 
Vitalie.

Dear List,

I have used Dr. Goulet's Emacs distribution with great success over the years.  Dr. Goulet latest distribution is version 23.4 which includes ESS 12.04. 

In the past I had been commenting out (require 'ess-eldoc) in Dr. Goulet's default.el file to disable the args from showing in the minibuffer.  I now have the problem of the args showing up.  The args were only disabled when I switched back to ESS-5.14.  Is it possible there is a problem with ESS 12?  I still cannot disable the args using the latest ESS-SVN.

I communicated with Dr. Goulet but he has no idea what the problem could be.  My session info is as follows:

R version 2.15.0 (2012-03-30)
Platform: i386-pc-mingw32/i386 (32-bit)


Thank you for any help.

Third method might be better, as you will have arguments completion.

You can place this into ess-mode-hook and ess-post-run-hook:

(delete 'ess-smart-comma ac-trigger-commands)

Then comma wont trigger the ac menu. 

Vitalie.

Hi Vitalie,

Great, thank you for the comprehensive reply. For now I'm going to
disable argument auto-completion using the second method you
described.

More generally, I like having auto-complete menus popping up all over
the place -- for me it really is just this situation (argument
completion menu triggered by ",") where it gets in my way.

What feature precisely? disable it inside c() or disable argument
completion altogether?

it should be ess-use-auto-complete, it's a type in new features
section. Thanks.



On a general note, I am still not clear what default ac set-up is the
most meaningful. And user input is highly valuable here. I agree that
the current one is too intrusive. Though auto-popup works fine in elisp
buffers it is pretty annoying in R buffers because most of the names are
short.

There are three general ways that the user can go about it.

First, is to deactivate ac auto pop-up by setting ac-auto-show-menu to
nil and make TAB to trigger the menu:

 (ac-set-trigger-key "TAB").

Help configuring auto-complete

Ista Zahn — 2012-05-15T13:56:42

Dear list,

I'm a big fan of the auto-complete integration in recent ess releases.
Thanks to everyone who worked on this!

I'm having one small issue I hope some someone can help me with. It
seems that ess now tries to auto-complete argument names. This is
cool, but maybe a little too cool for me. I tend to put each argument
on a new line, like this:

c(x = 1,
  y = 2,
  z = 3)

when I get to

c(x = 1,

with the cursor immediately after the comma, the auto-complete menu
pops up offering to complete "recursive=".

I would really appreciate it if  you can tell me how to disable just
this specific feature. The manual suggests that I should look at the
docstring of ac-use-auto-complete, but I can't seem to find it.

Thanks,
Ista

The improvements to the Stata prompt code in the latest release have a
downside: if we enter Mata mode (Stata's matrix language) the prompt
changes to ": " and we lose the command-line recall. 

I suggest changing inferior-ess-primary-prompt to "\\. \\|: \\|--more--"
