ess comment buffer....

ess comment buffer....

[Jeff D. Hamann]

I'm sure this is a FAQ question, but I've been trying to figure out how to
find the "comment selected buffer" so that I can use the C-c C-c keys to
comment out a selected  region in ESS as well as use the C-u C-c C-c to
uncomment the code. I'm guessing it doesn't matter that I'm using R
either...

Thanks,
Jeff.

C-c C-c works on the current buffer, the one which would change if you
typed some stuff in.

What do you mean by "ESS" and "R" here?

You can mark the whole buffer before using these commands:

,----[ `C-h k C-x h' ]
| C-x h runs the command mark-whole-buffer
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
| (mark-whole-buffer)
| 
| Put point at beginning and mark at end of buffer.
| You probably should not use this function in Lisp programs;
| it is usually a mistake for a Lisp function to use any subroutine
| that uses or sets the mark.

Bye, Reiner.

In recent versions of Emacs, M-; ought to comment/uncomment the
region, depending on whether it was not/was commented before.  Does
it work?  Does this help?  (I'm not sure I understood your question.)

Ah ha! that's what I was looking for.... Now I simply need to remap the
command to C-c C-c/C-u C-c C-c so I can comment/uncomment as I do in C mode
only I'm not sure how to do that, yet.

Thanks,
Jeff.

Alternatively, you could start using M-; in C mode, too.  It is a
shorter key combo, anyway :-)
