similar to: Vi mode in Linux console - how to stop it ?

Hi, I'm wondering if R provide a vi mode in the command line just like other shells such as bash do. Can somebody let me know? Regards, Peng

As an inveterate user of vi, I was pleased to stumble on how to use it for editing R commands. When an interactive R session is launched under unix, the command line editor most likely defaults to emacs. Typing <esc>,<ctrl>+j will switch this to vi editing mode (see below for possible exceptions). excerpted from readline(3) manpage: vi-editing-mode (M-C-j) When in emacs

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.

This might sound lika a "small" issu, but here it goes: I'm a long time unix user and my shell history usage and editing is configured to use vi keybindings; it's something that's already built into my fingers and using different bindings, like the arrow keys to fetch previous lines, really blows me !... :-( Is there any way to setup the asterisk cli to use such

I get great flexibility with command-line editing through the "readline" library in the "bash" editor and the "ncftp" tool. S-Plus has this editing and I see in the preliminary "Notes on R: A Programming Environment for Data Analysis and Graphics", page 65, that "R -e" might give this functionality. Typically, one can use either vi or emacs

Hi, I cannot figure out how to change the index format when displaying POSIXct objects. Would like the xts index to display as %H:%M:%OS3 when doing viewing the xts object. Think I am missing the obvious.

Dear R Gurus, I have spent some time in the R mail archive and only found one thread that mentions key binding (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/03/22481.html). I use R (2.9.2) from the command line using OS X's (10.6.4) Terminal.app. I have spent a fair amount of time trying to understand the relationship between readline and other command line tools (e.g. bash, R, etc.). Following

Quick summary: - I got command line editing to work (thanks to all who responded to me), - but now my ``m'' key won't work in R (??!!??!!??), - and I can't find how to get command-line editing to use vi syntax.

Hi, Have been having trouble trying to figure out the right regex parameters to remove the last "." in timestamp with the following format: Convert 09:30:00.377.853 to 09:30:00.377853 Thanks, Chris -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Regex-to-remove-last-character-tp3172466p3172466.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I compiled R-1.2.2 on my SuSE 7.1, kernel 2.4.2-2 machine with libreadline.4.1 and although I can use vi commands to scroll on the shell (bash) command line, I CANNOT do it in R.

Patch registers SIGTSTP hook where it sends reset terminal color control sequence using write and fsync. Handler is installed only if signal is not being ignored. Patch uses rl_free_line_state and rl_cleanup_after_signal to unhook readline from terminal, then it calls original TSTP handler using approach in URL below and again hooks readline using rl_reset_after_signal. Handling is based on code

I'm getting this error from time-to-time when using VI under FreeBSD_4.9-prerelease: Error: input: Resource temporarily unavailable Basically, VI just exits/crashes (no core dump). The load average is pretty low: 4:18PM up 10 days, 23:42, 4 users, load averages: 0.13, 0.21, 0.21 And I don't seem to have any other problems with the system. Wondering what this might be, or if

I have recently acquired a new laptop. (My old one was giving me ominous messages on boot-up, about possible hard drive problems.) I want to get everything running "just as it was" on the old laptop (So that I can stay in my comfort zone). In particular, I would like to do command line editing with vi syntax, which is what I am used to. I cannot for the life of me remember how I told

Hello All, I'm trying to use vi commands instead of using the mouse. I open Gnome-Terminal I open a file : vi /home/jvermeulen/.ssh/id_dsa.pub I select the key with " V " ( visual line ) I type " y " to yank the selected line. I can now use :e otherfile.txt and paste the text in otherfile.txt This is the only way I succeed in copying text to another file in

This is weird. As in, *deeply* weird. I ssh as root from one box to another (there are keys involved), and I go to vi a file, such as # line 1 # # line 2 # # line 3 # line 4 And what I see in vi is # line 3 # line 4 BUT, if I scroll the cursor over each line with the arrow key... I see all four lines. I've also looked at another file, and same thing. Just checked it out on the server I

Too many places poke at [rs]q->vq->vdev->priv just to get the the vi structure. Let's just pass the pointer around: seems cleaner, and might even be faster. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
