[ESS] how to make close-parens indent identically to close-brace?

[Kevin Ushey]

Hi Murat,

There was a new option added for this recently -- see
`ess-dont-vertically-align-closing-paren`. You can use `(setq
ess-dont-vertically-align-closing-paren t)` to toggle it.

FWIW, I have this in my `.emacs` to configure the ESS indentation to
my liking; it should give you a starting place to configure for your
own preferences.

(setq ess-ac-R-argument-suffix " = ")
(setq ess-use-auto-complete t)
(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "<s-return>") 'ess-eval-region-or-line-and-step)
            (show-paren-mode t)
            (setq ess-indent-level 2)
            (setq ess-first-continued-statement-offset 2)
            (setq ess-continued-statement-offset 0)
            (setq ess-arg-function-offset 2)
            (setq ess-arg-function-offset-new-line 2)
            (setq ess-dont-vertically-align-closing-paren t)
           ))
(ess-toggle-underscore nil)

Cheers,
Kevin
