[R-SIG-Mac] tip bar parameters: can it be modified to show specific S3 method parameter lists?

It blows windows people away when they see the tip bar” (the bottom bar that shows function parameters) display all the parameters for an obscure function. It similarly dismays mac users when it shows something un-explainatory like function_I_havent_used_for_ages(x, …) # i.e., … instead of the

[R-SIG-Mac] Two UI suggestions: 1. key bindings for help-page navigation buttons; 2: increase font-size of function status bar

Hi, A couple of minor suggestions for the mac GUI. First, Help window back-forward buttons. Often when the user has opened help, they want to navigate back a page. Currently the back ( “ ) and forward ( “”) buttons in the help window lack key bindings. So one has to use the mouse to navigate

this by trial and error so it might be worth documenting in the OSX-FAQ document, although it seemed pretty intuitive and was the first thing I tried after seeing this request. (It's how Firefox is configured.) On Aug 15, 2015, at 6:22 AM, Tim Bates wrote: A couple of minor suggestions for the mac

[R-SIG-Mac] tab complete drop down doesn’t adjust bottom to ensure box is visible.

Half way through a week-long 130-person modelling workshop where all the students are using R, and I am reminded how nice R.app is, but also of a couple of niggles, which I thought I’d pass on. 1. The tab-completion drop-down doesn’t adjust it’s location to ensure the bottom coordinate of the

[R-SIG-Mac] enhance completion function to add () as well as $ on tab

Simon very kindly wrote this function a couple of years ago when I noted how nice it would be if pressing tab on an already-completed unique name would write a $ sign and give a drop-down of $ elements. I'd like to improve the function so that if the completion is a function name, then

I wonder if this (2008/R 2.7) page could be updated with some current benchmark runs? Especially current Intel server chips, i9, and M1/+ I'm guessing if Simon could help upload the resulting updated page, people here could contribute bench mark runs on different hardware. Also be
