That seems to work also with KDE's "Konsole".
It may be worthwile considering
to implement some automatic width-adjustment like:
.adjustwidth <- function(...){
options(width=Sys.getenv("COLUMNS"))
TRUE
}
addTaskCallback(.adjustwidth)
After that, the output width is adapted to the actual terminal width
each time one hits return.
Just my 20 cents.
Best,
Martin
