No, I like autocomplete. As I wrote in what is still below, I have irony-mode and other helpers. But what is annoying as hell is that ESS decided to - move focus away from where I am (writing R code) - move to a completely new buffer (showing help I did not ask for) - require me to kill the new buffer to get back to where I was which happens *each and every time* I type a token it knows and could complete to a help page it then takes me to. Anyone have an idea what I need to turn on to suppress this?
