Can I add a windows specific wish please? I'd like to be able to double click on a word in the console and select it, rather than have to manually select - silly I know but I'm constantly going back and forth between R and other programs where I can do this and I still haven't managed to train my hand not to double click words in R... :-)
Seems like a reasonable addition. Send me a patch, and I'll look it over. Duncan Murdoch
Thanks R-Core!

Useful for latex, regular expressions and Windows file paths. This seems to come up from time to time on the lists. Ruby, python, Perl and other scripting languages have various ways to handle this which might be used as a model. - in Windows, some way to tell Packages | Install menu to use dependencies = TRUE (vs. dependencies = NA now). NB. utils:::menuInstallPkgs is the R routine invoked - self-contained R executables - default origin in Date. as.numeric.Date and as.Date.numeric are asymmetric in this respect. - here documents in sourced input - read.table(textConnection(Lines)) later gives annoying warning message about closing connection. If too hard to fix add an asText= arg, e.g. read.table(Lines, asText=TRUE) - View() buttons to copy to clipboard. (print and save might also be nice.) - allow library() command to determine what is imported like python's import ... from ... - Lag < function(x, k, ...) lag(x, -k, ...) lag is regarded by many as confusing and this would give a second option while keeping lag for compatability. - generic filter() - add executable for filefind.cc in docs.miktex.org to R bin directory on Windows to give an easy way to locate MiKTeX. Alternately put it in Rtools. - real subclassing of environments - ability to conditionally emit portions of a Sweave document even if they represent both text and code portions without using crude workarounds. For example if all the data for a certain figure is missing that figure and the associated paragraphs describing it and the R code shown associated with it could all be suppressed dynamically. - pfg TeX driver ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
