Indeed, the culprit appears to have been the emacs-ess package, which was creating issues even with it not being called.
Unfortunately, for me, emacs-ess was the main selling point of emacs, and with that rendering emacs unusable, it appears that I will have to move on to nvim which has a good R interface.
From https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsSpeaksStatistics: Fun Fact: Many current RStudio users, (like Jenny Bryan) used to be ESS users!
I'm a member of that ESS to RStudio crowd, but my use case hs changed from writing R code to maintenance, and many colleagues working in enterprise environments where access to linux is command-line on data center servers, but they do have R-studio-server and Jupyer that can be used with web browser in Windows.
Thanks! I do not care for Rstudio. In my experience, it is **slow**, and wastes all the time I gain by using a WM (non-DE).
But I think I found my answer to the nvim keybinding I would like here: https://superuser.com/questions/88432/save-in-insert-mode-vim
inoremap <c-x><c-s> <c-><c-o>:w<cr>
That is good.
Still sad about having to give up on emacs, but, oh, well! ESS is not really that well-supported (on Fedora, at least anymore).
