I had trouble with this for a long time. I tried several different programs, but couldn't get any to work properly—they were either too complicated or broken. I recently started using Notepad++ with NppToR. Everything works fine, and it is easy enough for beginners to use. Notepad++ is a free editor. There is a download called NppToR, which runs down in the notification area of the toolbar in Windows. This will allow you to send code directly to the R console from the text editor using a keyboard shortcut, and to have your text color-coded for R. I would recommend starting with this. If, after a few years, you find yourself limited by this setup, then you can think about things like emacs. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/open-source-editor-for-r-for-beginners-tp3826797p3826958.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
