In ESS/Emacs, how can I get the R process buffer to scroll to the bottom after a C-c C-j or C-c C-r

In ESS when I am evaluating chunks of code in a .R file using C-c C-j or C-c C-r (to send the line or region to a running R p开发者_如何学Pythonrocess), how can I get the R buffer to scroll down automatically, such that after evaluating a region the cursor is at the bottom, at the prompt?

Thanks.

Probably a bunch of ways to do it. In my .emacs.d I have

  (setq comint-prompt-read-only t)
  (setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input t)
  (setq comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output t)
  (setq comint-move-point-for-output t)

You might also be interested in this code, originally from Felipe Csaszar, which lets you do what you ask and a few other nice things besides.

Have a look at auto-scrolling in emacs doc. For my part:

customize-variable RET scroll-down-aggressively RET

scroll-down-aggressively set to 1 did the job.

DJJ's solution works perfectly for ESS and polymode in Spacemacs.

First, put (scroll-down-aggressively 1) within the defun dotspacemacs/user-config () section of the configuration file, e.g. ~/.spacemacs.

Then, evaluate the line using SPC , e r or restart configuration SPC f e d.

Emacs 27 complained about the above line because "Symbol's function definition is void" so I had to change it as follow to achieve the same result:

(setq scroll-down-aggressively 0.01)
