[TxMt] Re: R / Rdaemon package - disable help overlay

[Martin Batholdy]

Dear Hans,


Thank you for the quick reply!

I worked with the new version now for several hours and it indeed seems to be much faster now.

Strangely though, sometimes there is still this lag.
But I can't really replicate it and I don't understand why there is sometimes still a lack and the rest of the time it's working just fine.

Well, anyway, it's really a big improvement!  :)


thank you so much!

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.
