Can ECB be restricted to "take over" only the current buffer when it's activated?

From the get go: sorry if I'm not using the proper emacs terminology -- I'm relatively wet behind the ears in the emacs world. Most of my work in emacs is for programming R, and I'm using ESS and ECB to do so quite happily. I'd like to build a…

ESS R code passing doesn't work in Emacs console mode

I'm using Fedora 21 with GNU Emacs 24.5.1 and ESS version 15.03. In GUI mode I can use C-RET to pass code from an R script I'm editing to an inferior R process (it starts one up if I haven't yet), but that doesn't seem to work in console mode. Now…

What is the status of long-running remote R sessions in ESS/Emacs?

I routinely run R remotely and have had great success with RStudio server to do so. However, Emacs/ESS is still preferable in many cases, particularly since I often work on multiple projects simultaneously. What is the start-of-the-art when…

How can I make ESS to split window horizontally by default?

I always prefer horizontally splitting because the screen has more horizontal space. In python-mode I can achieve this by setting (py-split-windows-on-execute-function (quote split-window-horizontally)) Is there something similar in ESS mode?

Emacs - help() output in web-browser

I started using Emacs (ESS) as a default R editor (yes, @Dirk, as you've said, I want ESS), and I must admit it's by far the best R editor I've been using so far. However, I cannot manage to get an output of help() function up to web browser. It…

Pipe ESS to terminal outside of Emacs?

I'm not sure if this is possible, but does anyone know if I can pipe ESS commands (i.e. evaluate region) to a R process running outside of Emacs? The Emacs terminal hangs up a bit (more often than Apple's terminal) and I'd like to just ditch it,…

Emacs/ESS - Moving through iESS Buffer very slow
