R editor that will work with Rcmdr
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
that
communicates with the R process and is compatible with the tcltk
package
will work in parallel with the Rcmdr. That is, when you submit R
code from
the editor, it will go directly to R and not to the Rcmdr script
window.
One fun prospect would be to integrate the "Ctext" widget as the built-in script editor. Some assembly required though. -p

code
that
can be used with Rcmdr. Is there anything I need to know about
running or
installing an editor when using Rcmdr? I run R on both Windows and
Linux
(Fedora).
