R editor for Mac
I suggest just use one's favorite text editor and execute the code in R.app or terminal (some integration between them will be nice). Sometime things can go wrong, for example a segment of code takes unusual long time or large memory, and then R got frozen. In this case I can usually force R to quite if it does not response. But if I run the code within some editor, then I had to force quite the editor and probably lose all the code I just wrote. Maybe just I have such problems from time to time...

I agree the built-in editor works well. I?ll add that I work entirely in Textmate. In addition to the built-in editor?s features such as command execution, it offers Flexible execution (run in R.app; run in a daemon, return to clipboard, return to this document, return as tool-tip etc Snippets (your own tab-completable smart-typing function insertion) Commands: convert a list of numbers to an Rvector or matrix; drop-down menu for par() parameters (cmd-;)? the list is endless and incredibly helpful Code-folding (so you can collapse long function etc. Wide choice of syntax highlighting schemes On 26 Jan 2011, at 8:27 PM, Andrew Beckerman wrote:
Kristina The mac installation of R comes with a brilliant script editor built right in. Just start R, choose file->new to open a script and you are away. There is line numbering, coloured context for functions etc, smart brackets and quotes and keystrokes to send the code you select to the console: cmd+return to send selected text or the line you are on. You've got all you need to get started quickly (and perhaps all you need), courtesy of the excellent development team for the mac. Good luck.

Hello, I have never used R before and I need to use it for a time series graduate course AND i have a mac. I know tinn-R is a great text editor for R that works on Windows but is there anything comparable to it for a Mac? I have read multiple threads and my current findings are that there is really nothing like tinn-R for a mac and that TextMate comes close (but unfortunately this costs), some have said that they like the internal editor as well. I would like to use a more "user-friendly" editor, if possible, and I've been searching for hours now trying to figure out what to download and start learning, until I stumbled upon this mailing list and was wondering if someone could guide me and tell me what would be the most feasible option for an editor and save me some time:) Thank you so much, k [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
