Dear Frank,
May I ask why you are moving to Kate from Emacs? I tried Kate with R (and
Python and LaTeX) and I really liked the folding (which seems a lot better
than all the not-really-functional hacks for getting folding with R and
Python code) and some of the function/class browsers.
However, I specially missed:
a) the possibility of opening as many R processes as I want, and placing that
buffer in wherever place and with whichever size I want.
b) most of the rest of emacs, actually (hey, where did my shells go? and my
org-mode buffer? and my ...; not to talk about the keybindings).
If you feel like it, I'd like to hear about your impressions.
R.
