Hi Martin,

hopefully I found a solution. I've just updated the "R bundle". Now the command "Show Function Usage" will run in a background task. I.e., that you have not to wait until the tooltip come up or not for unknown commands. Normally the script is rather fast but it depends how many packages you have installed.

[a feedback would be welcomed]

PS FYI how to disable that functionality can be read in the "R Help" (simply delete the associated key equivalent "(" of the macro command "Show Function Usage and insert (" with the help of the bundle editor)
