Re: [External] [FR] Add buffer-local setting to request specific ESS process/session name (was: [PATCH] Set Python shell in Org edit buffer)

[Richard M. Heiberger]

This idiscussion s reminding me of the following ESS functions

ess-add-ess-process   M-x ... RET
   Execute this command from within a buffer running a process to add
ess-request-a-process M-x ... RET
   Ask for a process, and make it the current ESS process.
ess-switch-processM-x ... RET
   Force a switch to a new underlying process.

Are these relevant to the question?

AFAIK, this is the function deciding whether to run a new ESS process or
re-use the existing one. It is responsible for the observed behaviour.

Uses `ess-request-a-process'.

Does not look relevant - it seems to be for the process (comint) buffer,
not for the R/other ESS source buffer.
