Hi,

I really like the R application for mac OS X but there are two issues which often get in my way working with R:


the first;
When I copy code from for example a website or R help-file and want to paste it in my R-script the text gets pasted as rich text
which leads in most cases to different text size, font-family etc.

That is really annoying and currently I copy text first to an editor like TextMate and then into my R-script which is not really comfortable. So a "copy and match style"-option or a default matching of pasted text to the documents defaults (like in TextMate) would be great.


Fair enough - I'll look into that.


the second;
I use the help-functions a lot to look up all the different arguments of a function. What I would love is if it would be possible to open help-files in a different program (like Safari).

It is - see NEWS and also

So that when I type ?par (or help("par")) my default web browser pops up and shows me the help-file. That would give me the opportunity to easily search the help-file via CMD+F and to quickly switch between a help-file and a script.





hope that these features will be implemented some day.
