Peter,
I see that you do not think Rcmdr should be used to as a program editor
for R code. I understand that modifying Rmcdr to make it an editor would
be an enormous undertaking, nevertheless, having a program editor that
works with Rcmdr would be a wonderful addition to what is already an
outstanding package. It would be nice to know that my R code was
automatically formatted as I enter it into Rcmdr.

Dear Peter,
I've resisted trying to make the script window a full-fledged editor
but it's been moving in that direction (right-click context menu, line
wrapping, etc). I don't think that the Ctext widget is currently
provided via the tcltk package. I still think that people who want a
real programming editor are better off not using the Rcmdr for that
purpose.
Best,
John

Dear John,
I'm not entirely sure what you have in mind. Any editor or IDE
communicates with the R process and is compatible with the tcltk
will work in parallel with the Rcmdr. That is, when you submit R
the editor, it will go directly to R and not to the Rcmdr script
One fun prospect would be to integrate the "Ctext" widget as the
built-in script editor. Some assembly required though.

I would like a suggestion for an editor that will help format my R
can be used with Rcmdr. Is there anything I need to know about
installing an editor when using Rcmdr? I run R on both Windows and
(Fedora).
Thank you,
