R help - Sep 2024 - Stop or limit to console printing large list and so on

Hello All:

Background/setup:
Editor Emacs using "isend" to send code to shell in another window.
This is
on Linux. I can share more of the setup if others would find it useful, but
I suspect this is an option I am unaware of.

Problem:
I am having a problem with accidentally typing an object name at the
console that is a very large list and then having to wait for it to be
printed until I can resume my work.

Is there a way that I have missed to stem this default behavior?
Kindest regards,

Stephen Sefick

Hello Stephen.
I am not sure of the exact details of your problem, but following the 
second part of your e-mail, if you accidentally print a large object in 
the console and do not want to wait (i.e. you want to stop printing), 
just press C-c C-c and it will stop it (it will stop any process 
happening in the console, the same if you send a loong loop and want to 
abort...)
cheers
F.

Does it help to interrupt the process?

I'm afraid that the behaviour of the print() method is very
class-dependent and limiting options(max.print=...) may not help in
your case.
