Hello, I found in the docs that I can change the editor I use on a per vm bases with the following: *EDITOR=$your-favorite-editor virsh edit $your-vm-name* But how do I change it permanently so when I run: *virsh edit $your-vm-name* It defaults to my favorite editor (vim)?

CAn someone tell me if I am doing anything wrong or is there a better editor(freeware) which I could get. thanks cilver ===== ===================== Sylvie B. For...

Hello, I changed the setting in options$editor to allow me to use my favorite editor. In R 2.1.1 on Windows XP, I entered at the command line: options(editor="c:\\program files\\winedit\\winedit.exe") When I edited a function, say test, using fix(test), the editor opened perfectly. But, when I saved the file and closed the editor,...

Hello all, I am looking for an editor for R which has got functions beyond the normal R editor that is included in the program. I had a look at VIM but I think it's difficult if you are just starting programming. Could anyone recommend an editor that is suitable for beginners? Thanks for your help.

Dear users, From the recent discussion, I've wondered whether a text editor would be useful. However, I couldn't find a good explanation of what it is used for. For now, under Windows XP, I use the standard R Editor to write and run scripts. What can I do more with a text editor? It is worth using it? Thanks in advance for your advice. Regards, Ivan

It looks like R has defaulted to using 'vi' for file.edit() (via EDITOR since ~24 years ago[1][2]. These days I think it is much more common to write code from lightweight environments, e.g. Docker files which strip all unnecessary commands. On such machines, it is not safe to assume 'vi' is installed, and it's not uncommon to encounter an issue like I did...

I'm running R on Linux and use emacs as my editor. When doing "edit(vignette(foo.vignette))" I would like to invoke emacs rather than the default vi. I am able to manually set this by editing $R_HOME/etc/Renviron but would like to avoid doing this with each install. I assume this can be accomplished with a flag to .configure or in .Rprof...

Yet there is one immediate short coming of R: The lack of an integrated editor.

Thanks Simon, I didn't know that! That's definitely a compelling reason to leave the current default untouched and to eschew any finicky attempts to find back-up editors. Still, I think there is benefit from checking quickly that 'editor' exists at run-time in file.edit() -- the current failure mode is unusual (a shell error & R warning). Offering an R error would also benefit, e.g., users with a typo in their custom EDITOR setting: $ EDITOR=eamcs R...

...ather like a 'compile-time versus run-time' question to me. If you look at etc/Renviron.in in the R sources you see a number of choices, some of them with configure-time determined values (which I tend to override with values for the Debian package). For 'EDIT' it is ## Default editor EDITOR=${EDITOR-${VISUAL-vi}} giving us two env vars to override eg in 'degenerate' situations such as the forcefully minimized docker setup without other commands. Otherwise, a generalization that would be possible might be to do something similar to 'R CMD javareconf' to allo...

Hi all, I've been a happy user of R under cygwin for a number of years now. I prefer the bash interface and readline history, and I find Vi to be the most efficient editor. Recently, the edit command has started giving me errors: > edit(file='foo.R') Error in edit(name, file, title, editor) : unable to run editor 'vi' Vi works from bash shell and is in the path. 'vi' is a symbolic link to the executable, so I tried specifying the full pa...

I know this doesn''t necessarily fall under AJAX, but does anyone have any plans of donating a RTE (Rich Text Editor) plugin to scriptaculous?

Hi: when I modify VM's xml file,the editor is VI,how to set to other editor forever? Now I can change the editor to VIM from VI with setting environment EDITOR=$my-favorite-editor, but after rebooting,it is VI again. thanks

I''m trying to do some advanced editing using Grids. I''ve created my own editors and updating view and model both works fine so far. Thanks to whoever made this possible. I like wxRuby more each day! Now I''d like to catch mousewheel events in order to increment/decrement a grid cell editor. I''ve tried installing a handler in begin_edit of my editor and remo...

Dear all, (Sorry if the question has already been answered.) Could someone please suggest a good text editor for writing R sources ? (I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy). I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported. Thanks for any advice

Tinn-R (http://www.sciviews.org/Tinn-R/) is one of the topmost suggestions when googling an R-(text-)editor for Windows. However, to me it appears dissappointing that Tinn-R does not handle utf-8 (mac-roman, or any other) encoded R-scripts or, in general, text files. Besides Emacs and the R built-in editor, could you recommend a good editor for Windows, even some commmercial for a small price? (For...

Hi Guys, I'm currently using the Dojo Rich text editor on my site https://wideword.net but am not 100% happy with it as I'm a prototype kind of guy. So I started writing this Rich Text Editor the other day on an experiment. I used the In Place Editor as a template for it and have gotten it to more or less work under IE and Gecko. Unfortunately it...

Dear R-user; I recently switched from PC to MAC. Is there a compatible editor as Win-editor with package RWinEdit for MAC? Thanks Yihsu Chen [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am using Sublime Text as my editor. If I run `subl -n .Rprofile` in bash, a file would be opened in a new window. Back in R, if I run this > file.edit(".Rprofile", editor="'subl -n'") sh: 'subl -n': command not found Warning message: error in running command However, the interesting bit happ...

I've had time to return to the "external editor" project. The following function does almost what I want, which is to allow an external editor to feed command lines to R. ext.editor<-function(editor) { ext.input<-pipe(editor,"r") eval(parse(ext.input)) close(ext.input) } While the description of parse() indicates that...
