Unfortunately, I cannot help on Windows environment.
Any alternative ways of sending info both ways from R to any open
process (vim)
in windows?
Netbeans could be a fast and portable route for communication between R and vim without the need of using either pipes or files saved in disk as intermediary. Typing ":help netbeans" in vim should show netbeans documentation. R also has TCP support: write.socket(), read.socket(), etc. We could begin to explore this route...
Great finding! I wish I had more time to dedicate to this. Have you seen: http://pyclewn.wiki.sourceforge.net/features+ In my view, R as a language is very good but the tools around it are not good. When a matlab person tries R, their first comments are always how poor the environment is. Sure, one can have a debugger (with a crappy GUI in TK), and there's some editor support, but it's kind of painful. Integreting an R debugger with something like pyclewn would be very good.
