[ESS] How to improve ESS syntax high-lighting and shortcuts

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

Well, in my Emacs 22.0.91.1 I get more or less the same behaviour as Ronaldo.

I think this is according to what it is supposed to do. The man says

M-; runs the command comment-dwim
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `newcomment.el'.
It is bound to M-;.
(comment-dwim arg)

Call the comment command you want (Do What I Mean).
If the region is active and `transient-mark-mode' is on, call
  `comment-region' (unless it only consists of comments, in which
  case it calls `uncomment-region').
Else, if the current line is empty, insert a comment and indent it.
Else if a prefix arg is specified, call `comment-kill'.
Else, call `comment-indent'.
You can configure `comment-style' to change the way regions are commented.


If I toogle the transient-mark-mode to activate it marked regions are now (un)commented as should be.

Ronaldo, try "M-x transient-mark-mode <RETURN>".
