- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; == DOCUMENTATION ==
-
- ;; This file provides some functions that show or insert a
- ;; R-function's arguments (and their default values) by using R's
- ;; args() function. This code requires ESS (http://ess.r-project.org).
- ;; For screenshots as well as information on requirements,
- ;; installation, configuration and troubleshooting, please visit
- ;; http://www.svenhartenstein.de/emacs-ess.php
-
- ;; == Requirements ==
-
- ;; * ESS mode must be loaded and running.
- ;; * A R process must be running within ESS.
- ;; * For the tooltip option to work, Emacs must not run within a
- ;; terminal but (directly) under the X window system (in case of
- ;; GNU/Linux).
-
- ;; == Installation ==
-
- ;; To make Emacs aware of the functions defined in this file load it
- ;; into Emacs by including something like the following in your
- ;; ~/.emacs file (adapt "/PATH/TO"!).
- ;;
- ;; (add-hook 'ess-mode-hook (lambda () (load "/PATH/TO/ess-r-args.el")))
- ;;
- ;; This file is included with ESS; if you are reading this file as
- ;; part of the ESS distribution, then you do not need to add the above
- ;; line.
-
- ;; == Configuration ==
-
- ;; Configuration should be done by setting some variables in your
- ;; ~/.emacs file, the following is an example only, adjust it to your
- ;; needs.
-
- ;; ;; ess-r-args-noargsmsg is printed, if no argument information
- ;; ;; could be found. You could set it to an empty string ("") for no
- ;; ;; message.
- ;; (setq ess-r-args-noargsmsg "No args found.")
- ;;
- ;; ;; ess-r-args-show-as determines how (where) the information is
- ;; ;; displayed. Set it to 'tooltip little tooltip windows or to
- ;; ;; 'message (the default) which will use the echo area at the bottom of
- ;; ;; your Emacs frame.
- ;; (setq ess-r-args-show-as nil)
- ;;
- ;; ;; ess-r-args-show-prefix is a string that is printed in front of
- ;; ;; the arguments list. The default is "ARGS: ".
- ;; (setq ess-r-args-show-prefix "ARGS: ")
-
- ;; == Usage ==
-
- ;; The functions should be called when point (text cursor) is between
- ;; two parentheses of a R function call (see screenshots above). It
- ;; will then (invisibly) query R for which arguments the respective
- ;; function knows as well as their default values and show or insert
- ;; the result.
-
- ;; There are currently two functions: ess-r-args-show echoes the
- ;; arguments in the echo area or as tooltip, ess-r-args-insert prints
- ;; the arguments at point.
-
- ;; In order to not having to type the whole function name each time
- ;; you want to see the arguments list, you most probably want to bind
- ;; the functions to a key which again should be done in your ~/.emacs
- ;; file. You can also let Emacs call the function each time you insert
- ;; an opening parenthesis ("(").
-
- ;; -----> do this below
-
- ;; Again, the following is an example only:
-
- ;; bind ess-r-args-show to F2
- ;; (define-key ess-mode-map [f2] 'ess-r-args-show)
-
- ;; bind ess-r-args-insert to F3
- ;; (define-key ess-mode-map [f3] 'ess-r-args-insert)
-
- ;; == Setting the tooltip position ==
-
- ;; Unfortunately (?), tooltips are by default shown at the mouse
- ;; pointer's position, which is not necessarily where you are looking
- ;; at. If you use Emacs' mouse-avoidance-mode with option "banish"
- ;; then the mouse pointer will automatically be put at the upper right
- ;; corner of the Emacs window so that you know where to look for the
- ;; tooltip. Emacs also allows for setting the tooltip position
- ;; relative to the upper left corner of your screen. If you know how
- ;; to let Emacs determine the point (text cursor) position in pixels
- ;; from the upper left corner of the screen, please let me know. It
- ;; would then be possible to show the tooltip near the point, which I
- ;; would consider preferably.
- ;; SJE: see code at bottom 2009-01-30...
-
- ;; ;; Put mouse away when using keyboard
- ;; (mouse-avoidance-mode 'banish)
-
- ;; ;; Set the tooltip position in absolute pixels from the upper left
- ;; ;; corner of the screen
- ;; (setq tooltip-frame-parameters
- ;; '((name . "tooltip")
- ;; (left . 20)
- ;; (top . 20)))
-
- ;; == Changelog ==
-
- ;; * 2007-04-03: The function should now do nothing (instead of
- ;; irritating cursor movement) if the current ESS process is
- ;; anything but R.
- ;; * 2007-04-05: Function names changed. Much more modular. GPLed. New
- ;; prefix configuration variable. Minor changes.
- ;; * 2007-04-30: Error handling added. Bugfix: Emacs used to lock up
- ;; when function was called within parentheses following the "#"
- ;; character (Thanks to John Bullock for his bug report!).
-
- ;; == Troubleshooting ==
-
- ;; Before sending reports of problems, please check the following.
-
- ;; * Doublecheck the requirements section above.
- ;; * Please be sure you tried both the "tooltip" option and the "echo
- ;; area" option and tell me whether both failed or just one.
- ;; * Check whether it is a key binding problem. Run the function with
- ;; M-x ess-r-args-show RET. If it works but not the key binding, try
- ;; binding it to another key. Some window managers might not pass
- ;; the function key keystrokes to Emacs.
-
- ;; If you encounter problems, please send me detailed bug reports.
- ;; Please also indicate the ESS version you are running and the Emacs
- ;; type (GNU vs. X) and operating system. I will do my best to help
- ;; but please be aware that I'm everything but an emacs lisp expert.
-
- ;; == TODO ==
-
- ;; These are things that I would like to see improved. Please let me
- ;; know if you know how it could be done.
-
- ;; * As mentioned above, I would like to place the tooltip near the
- ;; point (text cursor) but I do not see how this could be done.
- ;; * Both the message in the echo area and the tooltip automatically
- ;; disappear as soon as a key is pressed. That is, you will need to
- ;; call the function again if you have entered the first
- ;; parameter(s) and wonder what additional parameters are possible.
- ;; I would prefer the information to be shown, say, five seconds or
- ;; so.
