Hi Naresh, I had a similar issue recently with emacs "automatically" opening the help file from a function when I started to type it. It took me a lot of head scratching but I figured out that the culprit was one of the company-frontends (probably interacting with some other component of my setup). I used to have these:
(setq company-frontends '(company-pseudo-tooltip-unless-just-one-frontend company-preview-frontend company-echo-metadata-frontend)) I replaced them for this: (setq company-frontends '(company-pseudo-tooltip-frontend company-echo-metadata-frontend)) And the problem went away. I do not know exactly why. I found an old discussion thread where the problem was related to a conflict between the use of autocompletion and the use of html help: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2013-April/008868.html ... the problem was that help was *supposed* to show up automatically in a pop-up window, but if you had your help file show up as html (instead of plain text), you get a browser with the help file instead. I assume that something similar is happening now with company-mode. Because I prefer the help in html (because hyperlinks, and as I use EXWM and the browser shows up within an emacs buffer) in my .emacs file I have this: (setq inferior-ess-r-help-command "help(\"%s\", help_type=\"html\")\n") But if you want (or need) help in plain text you can use help_type=text to ensure that the help shows up as text. I hope this helps.
