Send line to R process from babel block?

Send line to R process from babel block?

[John Hendy]

If one opens file.R and does =C-RET= on a line, it sends it to the
current ESS R process running (or starts a new process and then sends
the line).

Is this possible from babel blocks? I would find this extremely
helpful when troubleshooting in order to run lines of code up to my
problem spot vs. my current practice of copying, switching buffers,
then yanking into the R session buffer.

Is this already possible? I looked around at some of the completions
for =M-x org-babel-*=, but didn't see anything promising.


Thanks,
John

John,

Do you know about creating an indirect buffer with the current source
block? This indirect buffer will be in ESS mode, and any changes you make
will be in the original source block when you exit the indirect buffer.

I believe C-c ' in a source block will activate the indirect buffer. There
are variables controlling how the resulting window is created.

Awesome! Yes, that will do. I love that it's just mirroring the babel
block as well and I can save my final result back to the block with
=C-c '= or abort. For whatever reason I think I've run into this
before -- it's like the analog of C-c ` (backtick) for table editing.
I just didn't remember.


Thanks!
John
