Hello, Thank you for your answer.

I didn't even try batch before your answer since my own background is not with SAS, but with Emacs (ESS+R , Elpy+Python), where I use the interactive mode extensively. I'll give the batch mode a try, but now that I've made iESS work I have a couple of different questions: 1. Is fixing/adding this support to ESS something desirable, or better left out of the main tree? 2. You mentioned "little interactive support relative to R": I would be very interested in some examples, if possible. My own usage of the interactive mode includes e.g. using it with polyline to a similar approach to Rnw, but with SAS, and for that I end up using a REPL approach to develop things. The LSP server support is something orthogonal to this, but I'm also checking to what extend there are some overlaps (my experience has been great so far, using it with SAS-mode). > And the reason the F-keys are NOT turned on globally > by default is due to the GNU elisp standards that do not allow it.
