Hi 

I've recently started using Emacs as my text editor for writing R script. 

I am looking for a feature which I have seen on the standard R text editor
for Mac OS. In the Mac OS editor when you start typing a function, the
possible arguments for that function appear at the bottom of the window.
E.g. if you type "table( "  before you finish typing you can see at the
bottom of the window:

 

table(..., exclude = if (useNA == "no") c(NA, NaN), useNA = c("no", 
    "ifany", "always"), dnn = list.names(...), deparse.level = 1) 

 

I think this feature may be called "function argument hints" but I'm not
sure and searching the archive with that term has not produced anything
useful.

Is this feature available in Emacs or any other windows text editor for R?

 

Thanks very much

Tim
