I managed to do what I asked for, though it is a hack, and currently only works on a mac.
Attached is a perl script. It should be saved as convert_pb2R.pl somewhere in the path. Then, add this to my-init-texmacs.scm: (kbd-map ("R R ." (shell "convert_pb2R.pl") (clipboard-paste "primary") )) What you can do then is select several input/output cells in an R session (or even several R sessions). Copy them. Then go to the place you want to insert them (for example an empty input cell) and type "RR.". TeXmacs will insert only the R commands in the copied cells.
