There are three different data editors, so you will need to start by telling us your OS (and the other details asked for in the posting guide).

But this is really an R-devel question, and that is where offers to work on this (or to sponsor such work) should be posted.

As the author of one version and of a major revision of another, I have no interest in touching the code again.

Hi all,

I've used R for basic programming and data management for a few years now. One of the things that I think could be improved is the data editor.

Its a great feature and I use it alot by calling edit(data.frame); very useful to see if what you tried to do actually worked.

However, one of the annoying things about it is that when you scroll down the window it doesnt show you all the data (for a large data frame), just subsets of it.

It would also be quite useful if the width of the columns could be adjusted or didnt default to the size of the name of the column. (since the names might often be very big if the data frame was created using a function). Side-ways scrolling is quite "jerky" too.

Just wondered if this was on anyone else's wish list?

Simon.
