Can I add a windows specific wish please? I'd like to be able to double click on a word in the console and select it, rather than have to manually select - silly I know but I'm constantly going back and forth between R and other programs where I can do this and I still haven't managed to train my hand not to double click words in R... :-)
Thanks R-Core!
