I only got another private positive reaction.
In the mean time, I've happily ``hacked away''
and set new menu entries and new key bindings for (partially)
new functions:
C-c C-p : ess-eval-paragraph-and-step
C-c M-p : ess-eval-paragraph-and-go
and the pearl -- da dah! --
C-c C-c : ess-eval-function-or-paragraph-and-step
The latter now allowing to use C-c C-c to nicely step through
your source file, sending paragraphs or functions at a time...
Very nice, I must say myself!
As usual you can prefix the command by 'C-u' which toggles
"visibility".
I'm sure there could be some minor buglets there (in some
situations), but it did nicely work in the few cases I tried.
Of course, everything is online available from the subversion
archive @ https://svn.R-project.org/ESS/
but given the nice new feature (and some bug fixes that have been
waiting for a few weeks), I'm thinking of releasing ESS 5.2.13
with the above new features pretty soon.
Waiting for feedback still (particularly from fellow ESS-corers!) ...
