Hi all,

When using Rterm.exe (on Windows, I didn’t check Linux) only a limited number of characters is displayed in the input lines, independent on the |width| option, and, when navigating through the command history this becomes very uncomfortable, since a command is not fully displayed and, for example, it is very difficult to know which parts of a command are being edited.

I know, using Linux you can avoid using Rterm. And using Windows, the first option is RGui. However, Rterm is the default for some editor/IDE plugins/extensions, such as NVim-R for ViM or also for VS Code. In fact, searching on the web for the reported issue, I found it reported several times to the R extension plugin for VS Code.

Would it be possible to allow longer lines to be displayed, at least to the terminal width, or to customize the number of columns displayed?

Thank you for your time and for maintaining R, it’s a great work!

Best regards,

Iago
