Quick informal poll: what is everyone's favorite text editor for working with R?

I am using 3.4.2 not 3.5, I would not know. But it is worth visiting the STATET mailing list archive and subscribe to the mailing list.

I'm using Emacs+ESS on Linux and OS X.

Great question to put up here :) My preferences: 1) notepad++ with NPPToR 2) tinn-R (was leading for a long time, but recently I decided to go with notepad++ ) 3) JGR / RCMDR (although RCMDR can be connected with the previous ones - and I wish it would get more developed) With the rest I didn't have experience in. Jedit - I am still waiting for Romain (from http://romainfrancois.blog.free.fr/) to release his connection of R to Jedit (What he showed me in useR 2009, was better then anything else I have seen until then) Best, Tal Galili On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 10:43 PM, Jonathan Greenberg <greenberg@ucdavis.edu>wrote:> Quick informal poll: what is everyone's favorite text editor for working > with R?

Hi Jonathan, contributing to your poll: Also Emacs+ESS on Linux. Uli
Hello, I'm using PLD Linux and in my opinion, if you looking for very easy editor - Geany!!! It'll be fantastic ;) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Best-R-text-editors--tp25178744p25210782.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I sympathize. I prefer the keyboard shortcuts that WordStar used. The "diamond" was so intuitive. However, even though I could have configured Emacs to use the WordStar diamond, I noticed that strange and all as it is, the Emacs shortcut system is vastly more extensive and adaptable. Now I rarely think of WordStar. Because they're so utterly different from what ordinary software uses, I don't find much confusion on the occasions where I use said ordinary software. One tends not to get German vocabulary confused with Chinese vocab. I think it will be a very long time before Emacs follows the mob, and if it does, many of us will want an option to use the strange old system. -- Patrick Connolly Plant & Food Research Mt Albert Auckland New Zealand ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ I have the world`s largest collection of seashells.

It?s a KDE app, based on the same editor component as KWrite and Kate (same syntax highlighting, keyboard shortcuts, &c.). While it does have menus for plots, tests and other analyses, I only use it as a text editor, with one pane containing the R code (script), and one pane containing the R output. I then use keyboard shortcuts to ?Run current line?, ?Run current selection? and ?Run all?. Commenting out (blocks of) lines is easy using the Kate keyboard shortcut, ?Ctrl + D?. One feature I rather like is the auto completion. If I start typing ?rn?, a non-obtrusive pop-up suggests ?rnorm? and ?rnbinom?. If I type ?rnorm?, all the arguments and default values of the ?rnorm? function is displayed in the pop-up. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer
