I'm the original author of the R colorzing code for TextWrangler/BBEdit mentioned by Steve (it was later updated and maintained by Jonathan Marc Bearak: http://homepages.nyu.edu/~jmb736/code/R_language_module_for_BBEdit/R.plist), and highly recommend the use of BBEdit or TextWrangler along with this syntax highlighting code for R coding on the Mac.
The applescript code at https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2008-November/005541.html doesn't quite work for me, but I use something similar. Paste the following into AppleScript editor then save it as a script file in "~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/" (substitute TextWrangler for BBEdit if appropriate), named something like "Run in R.scpt": set selectedText to selection as string tell application "R64" activate cmd selectedText end tell Do the same for this second version, which I call "Run in R background.scpt": set selectedText to selection as string tell application "R64" activate cmd selectedText end tell tell application "BBEdit" activate end tell Then, I assign the following keyboard shortcuts for the two scripts: Run in R = command-option-period Run in R background = command-option-slash The first script will send the highlighted text to the R GUI to have it run, while the second script will do the same, but then switch back to BBEdit after running it. That way I can just type away, hit command-option-slash, and keep typing without interruption. I find this workflow to be very efficient. - Gene -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/editor-for-MacOS-tp3091083p3093142.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
