If you tweak ggplots for hours every key stroke saved counts.
Here is my work flow. First I remove this smart underscore entirely as
it is not so smart.
(setq ess-smart-S-assign-key nil)
Then I created a dumb one
(defun dumb-assign ()
(interactive)
(insert " <- "))
Then to avoid putting too much strain on my muscle memory I use the key-chord
package on melpa. You can find more information [1] here. So my pressing
-= together very quickly, I have the assign key and the fingers go at
the same place.
(key-chord-define ess-r-mode-map "-=" 'dumb-assign)
I have been struggling with the naming convention with R for a long
time. At some point I considered leaning towards a more lispy way
`test-fun` <- function(s) print(s) but it would not have been very
popular. I now think [2] Camelcase is the way to go.
