On my linux system, with my environmental variables pointing to vim, the
command
edit()
puts me into a vim buffer.
You may want to discover if you can get readline support for R too, as
it is great being able to use vi keybindings to surf through the command
history and do quick and easy cutting and pasting.
eg: <ESC>2k goes up two commands
<ESC>/abs find the first line with 'abs'
n find the next line with 'abs'
W move to the second word on a line
d$ delete from second word to end into buffer
p paste
