emacs not responsive while ess evaluate code

Question

I want to know if there is a configuraiton option to let me continue edit my R script after I send a code chunk for ess to evaluate (using C+RT).

Thank you for your time.

I don't use ESS but does emacs freezes all together or just the ESS buffer? — manandearth, Apr 06 '18 at 15:18

You want to customize ess-eval-visibly. Set it to either nil or 'nowait, depending on what you want.

When nil, ESS won't print the input. When 'nowait, ESS prints the input but doesn't wait for the process to finish before doing so.
