Hi I don't know if this quaifies as an R question, but it relates to using R. I use R under Linux and use Kate as my script editor. I would like to be able to pipe the selected block to an R instance which is in an xterm session (not the console in Kate!). Is it possible to configure Kate that it sends the selection to a pipe which can be read from R (like in vim and eclipse)? Has anybody done something like this with Kate?
