Re: [R] R-/Text-editor for Windows?
I've tried Emacs Speaks Statistics and found it just confusing, to say the least (by the way, I'm puzzled by why so many people adhere to this one. Maybe it's a matter of getting used to it...?) You are right... it is confusing, and it takes some time to get used to, and it is not for everyone. But, it is totally customizable, and combined with org mode and org babel it becomes a tool as no other. I´ve tried about every editor, including Tinn-R, Notepad++, and Eclipse with StatEt, but after switching to Emacs/ESS there is no turning back.

Re: [R] R-/Text-editor for Windows?
Well, AutoHotKey [1] is a free program/scripting language that runs
scripts to perform basic window handling, file I/O, and program execution.
It also allows you to bind the running of these scripts to keys or
mouse-strokes with the option of making each window-specific. NppToR is
actually a compiled AutoHotKey script designed to do Notepad++ specific
things. For example, one of my generic, slower, user-unfriendly scripts
is:
TestConsole()
{
IfWinNotExist, ahk_class Console_2_Main,
{
Run, C:\Documents and Settings\jdaily\Console2\Console.exe
-t R
WinWait, ahk_class Console_2_Main,
}
}
ActivateConsole()
{
TestConsole()
WinActivate, ahk_class Console_2_Main,
WinWaitActive, ahk_class Console_2_Main,
}
#1::
WinGetActiveTitle, editor
old_clipboard = %clipboard%
Send, {CTRLDOWN}c{CTRLUP}
ActivateConsole()
Send, {CTRLDOWN}{END}{CTRLUP}{RETURN}
WinActivate, %editor%,
clipboard = %old_clipboard%
return
What it does when I press the Super+1 is assign the current window to a
variable editor, backup my current clipboard, and copy my highlighted
text. Then it checks to see if Console [2] is active and opens console
with R if not open. It pastes the copied text and reactivates editor,
restoring my old clipboard. Its nice because it works whether I'm in
Geany, Notepad, MSword, etc., but I didn't bother doing any checking to
make sure console's active tab is R. This could easily be solved if you
just use RTerm/RGui by replacing all the instances of Console with the
appropriate R executable.

Re: [R] R-/Text-editor for Windows?
Sascha, I second Tobias' recommendation of Eclipse with StatET. Like Emacs, Eclipse is platform independent and easily extensible to essentially any other language, as well as revision control like git and svn. I used to use Tinn-R, but haven't been back seen switching to Eclipse.

Re: [R] R-/Text-editor for Windows?
I'm testing StatET right now. Seems nice. In many aspects it resembles the features offered by RKWard (which is a KDE application and thus also platform independent... in principle. No pre-compiled OSX version yet). For those interested, I found an explanation on how to set StatET running.

There is a clip2r.js javascript function for Windows in the batchfiles collection, http://batchfiles.googlecode.com . It gives you the essential code that allows you to build a facility a facility to copy the current selection or buffer to R using the editor of your choice. The way it works is that using your editor's scripting facility you would create code to copy the current selection or buffer to the clipboard and then run clip2r.js (which copies the clipboard to R). The comments in the clip2r.js source provide such actuating code for vim but there is nothing specific to vim about clip2r.js itself and it should be usable from any sufficiently powerful editor if you are able to create your own editor specific code to copy the current selection or buffer to the clipboard, run clip2r.js and attach all that to a key. Not related but near the bottom of the page referenced above are some autohotkey links that may be of interest. -- Statistics Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] R-/Text-editor for Windows?
Sascha, I guess the software you wan't is RKWard: http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ I have tested a few R front-ends and to me this one seemed the most adequate. I suppose as an ex-matlab user my interface preferences are biased, but still RKWard has a good editor with syntax highlighting, code folding, auto-completion and function hinting, and since it also incorporates the R console into it's structure, anything you type in the console window will be highlighted and hinted (if a function) as well. And it's free. I've tried Emacs Speaks Statistics and found it just confusing, to say the least (by the way, I'm puzzled by why so many people adhere to this one. Maybe it's a matter of getting used to it...?). Tinn-R (up to the version I tested) didn't integrate well with R. WinEDT is good. Give it a try and tell us what you think.

Re: [R] R-/Text-editor for Windows?
I strongly suggest reconsidering your rejection of Emacs + ESS. However, if you cannot be persuaded of this, I hear WinEdit is pretty good.

Re: [R] R-/Text-editor for Windows?
Notepad ++ handles just about anything and has an accompanying program NppToR to make passing scripts easier. Geany also handles a ton of filetypes, but lacks a direct interface to R in the windows version - I wrote an AutoHotKey script that did this for me in about 5 minutes. On the other hand, geany is cross platform. As always, EMACS + ESS and Vim are also options. -- Jonathan P.
