Hi, Could you please suggest a good R editor for Mac OS X (10.7.5) Previously my operating system was Windows and there I used Notepad++, I really had very nice experience with it. However I dont see any Mac version is available for Mac. Appreciate your positive feedback. Thanks and regards,
Christopher, Download TextWrangler from App store. I?m using it and its very convenient.

(It's been called the only editor with a built-in operating system.) It also supports ESS which is a R mode that is very helpful. Rich

A nice advantage is that it looks the same on both, so you can move back and forth. I only know two negatives: - I still don't like the tiled window. I often work on a small screen, and it's not enough space. - The editor still changes file endings to native format whenever it saves. It would be better if it handled both Windows and Unix line endings in both systems, and left them alone unless the user asked them to be changed. The positives are too numerous to list here.

Hi: Both the default Mac OS X installation of R (with the GUI) as well as RStudio, have very nice editors for coding in R. -Roy> On Jan 20, 2016, at 10:22 AM, Christofer Bogaso <bogaso.christofer at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Could you please suggest a good R editor for Mac OS X (10.7.5) > Previously my operating system was Windows and there I used Notepad++, > I really had very nice experience with it.

Dear Christofer Bogaso, Re:> Could you please suggest a good R editor for Mac OS X (10.7.5)Indeed, as Roy Mendelssohn wrote, the editor built into "R.app", the GUI program which is part of the standard R for OS X, has a beautiful editor, complete with syntax colouring and bracket balancing. And one can run only one or a few lines from a script at wish. I couldn't wish myself more. Success and best wishes, Frank -- Franklin Bretschneider Dept of Biology Utrecht University bretschr at xs4all.nl
If you don't want to run RStudio, Sublime Text has both great R code syntax highlighting/formatting and a REPL mode for an interactive console in-editor. Atom also has decent R support. They both play well with "Dash" which is an alternative way (separate app) to lookup R docs on OS X.

I think Emacs + ESS matches (exceeds if you count non-R stuff) RStudio in functionality, but it is much harder to learn. Duncan Murdoch

Hello Christofer! For text-editing the R.app GUI has always been fabulous. An old mainstay on the Mac (after Apple's TextEdit) has been TextWrangler, and its big-brother, BBEdit. For development RStudio is quite nice, and--based partly on RStudio's offering of a Vim-compatibility mode--Vim has become a recent interest, although it has a steep learning curve. Of course, Vim itself is already available at the Terminal command line, but more Mac-like version named MacVim is available at: https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/releases Further instructions on using Vim with R are available here: http://manuals.bioinformatics.ucr.edu/home/programming-in-r/vim-r BTW, it looks like you're using an older version of Mac OS X (Lion, version 10.7.5) released in 2012. So some of the text editors mentioned by others in this thread may not be their "latest and greatest." Also, while you can run R version 3.2.1 right now (current R version is 3.2.3), the R Mac page says "NOTE: the binary support for OS X before Mavericks (10.9) is being phased out, we do not expect further releases!" See: https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/ Mac OS X is now at version 10.11.4 (El Capitan). Wikipedia says some Macs all the way back to 2007 can run El Capitan (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS_X_El_Capitan), so there may be an upgrade path for you, if not all the way to El Capitan (10.11) then maybe up to Mavericks (10.9), to keep you from having to compile future R-versions from source. Finally, you should consider checking out the R-Sig-Mac mailing list for further Mac-specific info: https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac HTH, Bill W.

Which package(s) should I install to write and run R code in Atom? Certainly I don't see anything useful out of the box.
