genovese / ess-smart-equals Goto Github PK

This package comes very close to my desired behaviour with the caveat that I now cannot keep spaces around the = operator as recommended by most style guides. I think short of a way to interactively be aware of whether the point is inside a function call or not, the second best way would be to let a 'unspaced' = followed by a space expand to =.

edit because the markdown is unclear. I want it to expand to space=space.

I have the following settings in my config file.

  (setq ess-smart-equals-padding-left 'some-space)
  (setq ess-smart-equals-padding-right 'none)

Whenever I pressed "=", an whitespace would be inserted after the cursor. This is especially annoying when pressing "=" inside a data.frame, as it would add a whitespace inside the parenthesis (An example is shown below).

The lisp file header (from elpa) says it requires emacs 25.1, but if-let* is not available in emacs 25, it makes it's first appearance in emacs 26.

(use-package ess-smart-equals)
leads now to the following error when running emacs:

Error (use-package): ess-smart-equals/:catch: Symbol’s value as variable is void: ess-S-assign
