In my .bashrc, I have the line: export SETTINGS=/home/user/settings.xml If I load R in bash, I can access this variable using the Sys.getenv function: Sys.getenv("SETTINGS") "/home/user/settings.xml" If I open up R in Emacs (M-x R), SETTINGS is empty: Sys.getenv("SETTINGS") "" What I have tried: adding the following to .emacs, based on How do I make Emacs recognize bash environment variables for compilation? ;; get environment vars from .bashrc (let ((path (shell-command-to-string ". ~/.bashrc; echo -n $SETTINGS"))) (setenv "SETTINGS" path)) opening up bash in emacs using M-x term echo

I am using ESS, but every time I need to install a new package I have to use R gui. Isn't there a way to do this without leaving emacs? C-c C-e i It will take a few seconds to load all packages. From help(Startup) : ## Example of Rprofile.site local({ # add MASS to the default packages, set a CRAN mirror old <- getOption("defaultPackages"); r <- getOption("repos") r["CRAN"] <- "http://my.local.cran" options(defaultPackages = c(old, "MASS"), repos = r) ## (for Unix terminal users) set the width from COLUMNS if set cols <- Sys.getenv("COLUMNS") if(nzchar(cols)) options(width = as.integer(cols))

I understand from the following resources: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ESSAuto-complete http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete Emacs autocomplete-mode extension for ESS and R Is it possible to get code completion for R in Emacs ESS similar to what is available in Rstudio? ...that I should have access to tooltips for auto-complete help in emacs when using ESS for R development. The last link additionally specifies that it should work out of the box with the latest ESS, and: From version 12.03 ESS integrates out of the box with auto-complete package. Three sources ‘ac-source-R-args’, ‘ac

In Emacs Speaks Statistics for R , how can the auto replacement of _ with <- be turned off? To stop this smart behaviour, add (ess-toggle-underscore nil) to your .emacs after ess-site has been loaded. What rcs said. But pressing _ again will turn the "<-" into "_" when you need it. So, when you need an underscore, just press it twice. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1816238/how-to-turn-off-auto-replacement-in-emacs-speaks-statistics-for-r

I am using emacs-snapshot with the ssh.el package, following the instructions from the ess manual. There are a few ways to open an R session, but this is how I do it: open emacs C-x C-f /server:dir/file.R this puts me in ESS [S] mode Type 'plot(1)' C-c C-n to run emacs asks for starting directory, and I choose the /server:dir/ I would like for a figure to pop up but it wont. This also doesn't work when using ess-remote in shell or tramp mode, but it does work if I set the starting directory to my local desktop. Any advice much appreciated. My current workaround is to print the file to pdf and

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good way to get R or ESS to stop executing the rest of the code beyond the point at which an error occurs if I am evaluating a region or buffer (I've only found the opposite request in the help archives). I was looking in the R help files but option(error=stop) will only stop execution of the offending function or statement but not those that follow it. Thanks! If R/ESS is hogging up so much compute time that your emacs/ESS is unresponsive to C-c C-c, you can also save it by sending an INTERRUPT signal from the terminal. First: figure out R's processID using

I often run long R scripts when I start my R environment. I would like to be able to load / run the R script in Emacs / ESS and continue other work in another buffer. When I press C-g or C-c C-c the process is interrupted, and I must restart the script. What is the best way to background the R process in ESS / Emacs? EDIT: Thank you for your answers and comments, but none of them address the fact that Emacs freezes when you load / run a large script and you can't change buffer. I suppose my question is a little more general - can Emacs background a process to let you keep working? ESS runs R

Is there a way to configure Emacs so that it recognizes (and allows execution of) R code chunks within R markdown (.Rmd) files similar to the way it recognizes code chunks in .Rnw (Sweave) or .org (org-mode) files? polymode is being developed which does/will allow you to write markdown with R chunks (for processing with knitr ). Instructions for setting up polymode+rmarkdown are in the README It is not yet done, but is progressing. See also this discussion on the ess-help mailing list ( gmane archive | mailing list archive ) Update: polymode has been released on MELPA, simplifying the

I would like to ask regular ESS/R users what key bindings do they use frequently and tips on using ESS/R. I have set several shortcuts in my .emacs file. The most useful are: C-tab to switch between the R command line and the file (similar to josh answer, but much faster): (global-set-key [C-tab] 'other-window) Control and up/down arrow keys to search history with matching what you've already typed: (define-key comint-mode-map [C-up] 'comint-previous-matching-input-from-input) (define-key comint-mode-map [C-down] 'comint-next-matching-input-from-input) Comment-uncomment a selected region with
