Dear All Working along in R (Emacs {Aquamacs}, ESS ) usually I am getting a long R buffer with many rows. To reduce its length, I used to select backwards and delete those unnecessary rows. Now I cannot do that, only C-k allows single lines to be deleted. the mode line says 'Text is read-only *R*>'. Both R and ESS are up to date. Aquamacs 3.3 GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.1.0, NS appkit-1344.72 Version 10.10.2 (Build 14C109)) R version 3.4.3 (2017-11-30) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0 (64-bit) Running under: macOS High Sierra 10.13.2 ess: 0171204.1404 This behaviour exists at the very start of R where I cannot evendo anything in R. The *ESS* buffer says (inf-ess 3.0): prog=R, start-args=--no-readline , echoes=t Making Process...Buf *R*, :Proc R, :Prog R :Args= --no-readline Start File=nil (inferior-ess: waiting for process to start (before hook) (inferior-ess 3): waiting for process after hook What additional information could be helpful to stop this strange behaviour? TIA? C. -- Christian Hoffmann Rigiblickstrasse 15b CH-8915 Hausen am Albis Switzerland Telefon +41-(0)44-7640853

[R] [ESS] R window: Text is read only (: Another round :)
Dear Christian, to leave the read-only state, did you try C-x C-q in the mode line? Cheers, Albrecht -- Albrecht Kauffmann alkauffm at fastmail.fm Am Mi, 20.
