I have been trying emacs with ess, Kate, plain gedit..nothing really satisfied me.. but then I found a nice plugin for gedit: Rgedit !
it supports split screen with R terminal window (you can also personalize colour if, like me, do like to stick with old habits :) ), moreover gedit has a brackets completion and a brackets highlight plugin which are very useful. check it out here http://www.stattler.com/article/using-gedit-or-rgedit-r <http://www.stattler.com/article/using-gedit-or-rgedit-r>simple "send code to terminal" shortcuts (much simpler than emacs, in my opinion) and nice interface..give it a try! /federico On Fri, Jul 23, 2010 at 2:42 PM, Rainer M Krug <r.m.k...@gmail.com> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 23/07/2010 14:17, Alaios wrote: > > I would like to thank you for your immediate reply. > > Actually I do not like vim and emacs..
