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. More detail: This posting consists of (1) a summary and thanks, and (2) some new questions. Summary and thanks: =================== I was having trouble

fixes a problem with editing a bindmounted file with vi. The file will not retain the same selinux context due to the way vi copies files around.

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. Here's the relevant parts of ./configure (and make): anovo at friedman R-1.2.2 > ./configure | grep readline checking for rl_callback_read_char in -lreadline... yes checking for readline/history.h... yes

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

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
