[R] Visual details in integration of emacs, ess, Sweave (under aquamacs on OS X)
I am a very happy user of emacs, ess, Sweave. My complaint is about aquamacs (under OS X) and might not apply to other emacs variants. There is one piece of visual detail that I think is a problem. When the cursor moves from a line that's latex to a line that's R, ess automatically switches from auctex to sweave mode. That's very smart and extremely convenient. However, the vertical height of the toolbar at the top for auctex is different from that for sweave. As a consequence, there is an extremely disconcerting jump where the cursor is no longer at the physical pixel which you were looking at. The solution perhaps involves the people who do auctex and the people who're writing ess to agree on how many pixels their toolbar will take, so as to avoid these jarring jumps. -- Ajay Shah http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah ajayshah at mayin.org http://ajayshahblog.blogspot.com <*(:-? - wizard who doesn't know the answer.
