At this point, and since we are in an X windows context, I think it might be easier to use the window manager's features and write a little macro or something that will send my setwid() command to the active window, then assign it to a simple keystroke. Then: resize the window; hit the keystroke, and you're done. True, it's not fully automatic, but it would be pretty quick and easy.
Either that or give ESS a try, using the bit that Ista offered. Or maybe Rstudio? Peter's got a good start, but I too would be stymied at the last step; definitely beyond my skill. -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 4/18/15, 1:41 PM, "Peter Crowther" <peter.crowt...@melandra.com> wrote: >On Apr 17, 2015 7:37 PM, "Paul Domaskis" <paul.domas...@gmail.com> wrote: >> I don't suppose there is a way to have it >> automatically invoked when the window size/positition changes? > >Possibly, though it would take a little building.
