similar to: Command History

I've looked through the FAQ and can't find anything about this. I'm working on a Sun machine, running Solaris 2.7. I'm a new R-user; have been using Splus for millenia, and finally decided it was time I got going with R. So I downloaded R, installed it, fiddled about a bit, and found that command-line editing was absent. Scrounging through the documentation some more, I saw it

Hi! I have the following issues using "R for Mac OS X 2.2.1" (from the ppc-.dmg) on a Mac OS X 10.4.5: 1) The command history is never saved (automatically) to .Rhistory. (The file stays empty.) 2) If I save a history to some file via the "Save History" button, and I load it afterwards via "Load History", only the first entry of the saved History appears in

I am trying to build [R] v1.3.1 *locally* on a Sun Solaris 8 machine. One problem I am currently struggeling with is to make the command-line history function to work. I have installed GNU readline version 4.2 (latest version). Looking at the "config.log" file it seems that all readline related checks, e.g. "readline/history.h", passes (they did not before installing GNU

Hello everyone, Thanks to the people who so kindly responded to my earlier query about how to get R to retrieve my previous command when I hit the up-arrow key. Several people pointed out to me that in order to enable this feature I need to re-install R with the GNU readline library. My question now is: how do I accomplish this? Can anyone tell me what changes I need to make to the

g'day R friends, I was hoping someone could provide me with advice as to my dysfunctional 'arrow' keys. Instead of browsing thru my command history they just move my cursor. What have I done wrong? My TERM seems ok for other unix apps. I'm running under hpux 10.20 with R1.0.0 thanks, John Strumila -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

All, I installed R-2.10.1 with Readline=no. Now for some reason R does not recognize some key strokes like the directional arrows. I am not sure if Readline is the problem or not. I have tried .Cofigure with Readline = yes but it doesn't fix the problem nor do I really know if readline is the problem to start with. Has anybody else run into similar problems? Thanks, Steve [[alternative

Full_Name: Bill Kristan Version: 1.3.0 OS: Linux Mandrake 8.0 Submission from: (NULL) (138.23.159.84) I just downloaded the "unofficial" Mandrake 8.0 rpm from cran. So far the only problem I've encountered is that my arrow keys no longer scroll through my command history, but give ^[OA and ^[OB instead. Left and right arrow navigation within a line is also broken. I checked

Hi all, Are there any plans to add more functionality to command-line editing and history editing on the command line? In MATLAB (I know, comparisons are odious ...), you can type "p" and up-arrow on the command line and scroll through the recently entered commands beginning with "p". This is a very useful feature and something that I believe is not replicated in R. Please

Hello, We are using R 1.4.1 on Solaris 8. The director of our lab says that it should be possible, when using R interactively, to repeat your previous command by pressing the up-arrow key (similar to the command history feature in the tc shell). I have not been able to find any mention of this command history feature in any of the R documentation, but the lab director is adamant that this

Full_Name: Cyril Humbert Version: 1.5.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (193.50.159.2) Hitting ^C breaks readline history (when R is stared in an xterm). xterm -e R ^C -> arrow key and history stop working.

Hi, I just compiled R on solaris. Everything seems to run fine. Except, the up and down arrows don't take me through the history.

I have a generally successful compiled R 1.8.0 version installed on a SuSE 9.0 system. One frustration however is that the basic keyboard functions of BASH have not completely carried through and the up, down, left and right arrow keys don't behave as they do on the regular shell command line. That is no command history can be accessed and the cursor cannot be back-spaced over a

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.

I have compiled R under Solaris 7 (SunOS 5.7) with the readline-4.0 library linked. Command line editing appears to work, but I cannot access command history. If I execute several commands in R, then type "history()", I get the error message "Error in savehistory(file) : no history available to save". Also, previous command recall (C-p) does not seem to work. I am invoking

Greetings, I don't know if this is a bug or something I did wrong. The symptom is that my command history is now broken. For example, the up arrow now results in ^[OA each time it is depressed. The build commands I used were as follows: cp R-1.4.1.tgz /usr/lib/R cd /usr/lib/R tar -xvvzf R-1.4.1.tgz cd R-1.4.1 ./configure make make check # No errors resulted make dvi make pdf make info

a) How can I set the recording of all windows()-history forever to "true"? I want something like windows(record = TRUE) but not just for the window that opens then, but for all windows I will open ever. b) Scrolling up in RGui (windows 2000) to see past commands is nice, but: Is it possible to type eg "wi" and the "arrow up" and see the last command that started with
