I use RKward. It’s a KDE app, based on the same editor component as KWrite and Kate (same syntax highlighting, keyboard shortcuts, &c.). While it does have menus for plots, tests and other analyses, I only use it as a text editor, with one pane containing the R code (script), and one pane containing the R output. I then use keyboard shortcuts to ‘Run current line’, ‘Run current selection’ and ’Run all’. Commenting out (blocks of) lines is easy using the Kate keyboard shortcut, ‘Ctrl + D‘. One feature I rather like is the auto completion. If I start typing ‘rn’, a non-obtrusive pop-up suggests ‘rnorm’ and ’rnbinom’. If I type ‘rnorm’, all the arguments and default values of the ‘rnorm’ function is displayed in the pop-up. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer ______________________________________________ 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.
