[ESS] Help pops up in web browser

[Naresh Gurbuxani]

Dirk,

My problem is that I do not use auto-complete.  I use company only.  Below are relevant sections from my init.el file.  What changes can be made here to avoid this annoying behavior?

Thanks,
Naresh

;; ESS for R
(use-package ess
  :ensure t
  :defer t
  :config
  (setq-default inferior-R-program-name "c:/Progra~1/R/R-3.6.1/bin/x64/Rterm.exe")
  (setq org-babel-R-command "c:/Progra~1/R/R-3.6.1/bin/x64/R --slave --no-save")
  (setq inferior-ess-r-help-command "help(\"%s\", help_type=\"text\")\n")
  (load "ess-autoloads")
  (require 'ess-r-mode)
  (require 'ess-site)
  (define-key ess-r-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign)
  (define-key inferior-ess-r-mode-map "_" #'ess-insert-assign))
 
;; company mode set up
(use-package company
  :ensure t
  :config
  (add-hook 'after-init-hook 'global-company-mode)
  (setq company-frontends '(company-pseudo-tooltip-frontend
                                                     company-echo-metadata-frontend)))
 
;; company-quickhelp set up
(use-package company-quickhelp
  :ensure t
  :init
  (company-quickhelp-mode 1))

I had the same problem, and asked here. See the long-ish thread at

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2020-February/thread.html



The list was most helpful (as well as a few private messages, thank you

all!).  It is indeed an interaction between modes, so I now turned off the

older auto-complete mode:



  ;; edd 2020-02-10 possible interaction with ESS

  ;(require 'auto-complete-config)

  ;(ac-config-default)



I kept other uses of company, irony, ... as set as I actually like them and

the fact that I get a pretty consistent Emacs experience across languages and

buffers. 



Dirk
