[ESS] ESS[R}: Evaluate region keyboard command

[Peter Geelan-Small]

G'day, McKay.

Thanks for your reply. I copied the code below into my .emacs file and restarted Emacs. When I then got R going etc., highlighted a section of code and used Shift+Enter, the highlighted code was deleted and nothing went to R.

This is becoming a bit of a mystery!!

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

I am not sure why "C-c C-r" is not working on your emacs.  However,
you may find the following suggestion useful (see the suggestion from
"FelipeCsaszar" on th ESS wiki
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsSpeaksStatistics#toc2).  If you
add the following lines of code to your .emacs file, you will then be
able to use Shift+Enter to send a region of code OR a single line of
code to the R session buffer:

(defun my-ess-eval ()
  (interactive)
  (my-ess-start-R)
  (if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active)
      (call-interactively 'ess-eval-region)
    (call-interactively 'ess-eval-line-and-step)))

(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook
 '(lambda()
    (local-set-key [(shift return)] 'my-ess-eval)
    ))


Best,
McKay
