I use nedit on daily basis because I usually run R on the Mac terminal or X11, not in the R GUI window. One feature I like nedit most is that I can select, copy, paste, and replace columns. Anybody know whether such a feature is available in other editors such as TextWrangler?
Thanks a lot for sharing the syntax highlighting file, Christian! I'll try it out soon. Do you know if there is any way to execute a highlighted portion of the R code in nedit?
