You were told that RGui is not an editor.
Are you implying that your initial message contained an implicit request
for instructions on how to get R code in an .R file to be opened
automagically when double-clicked or to have "open in <some
editor>"
appear when right-clicked? (I didn't see that clearly expressed.)
If you want something else to happen with a file that has a .R extension
when double-clicked or right-clicked in a GUI file manager, then you
need to configure your OS to do whatever else it is that you expect.
This is not really an R question. It's an OS question. There are many
editors that can also bring up R consoles when the right? key combo is
pressed. They do require some study for their specific actions, but this
is not really the place to get guidance on the fine details.
