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.

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

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
