Hi Rainer, If I'm understand you correctly you want the absolute position (by LOC) of the lines of R code to be the same in both the original org file and the tangled file or R code. I don't think this is possible. It is possible to tangle code blocks in any order (not just the order in which they appear in the original org file), so there are many valid tangling scenarios in which this feature could not work.
Rather, I think that it may make sense to have a function for jumping back and forth between tangled code blocks and the related Org file. In that case the R errors could be followed to the tangled R code file, from which you could easily jump to the relevant line in the relevant code block in the Org file. If you are tangling with comments, then it should be possible to have a function called from a line in a tangled code file which when called 1) finds it's enclosing comments 2) remembers it's offset from the comments (which would then be it's offset in the code block in the Org file) 3) read the comment to learn which code block in which Org file it's tangled from 4) jump to the relevant line, in the relevant block, in the relevant file Similarly when called form within a code block in an Org file the function could 1) read it's header argument to find the relevant tangled code file 2) jump to that file 3) use the comments in that file to move to the appropriate section of code and related line I'll think about such a function, and if it makes sense to implement it apart from a more general "activate org-mode links in comments" minor mode. Any ideas or suggestions would be welcome!
