[RkWard-devel] plugin input field

not quite sure, what exactly you would like to see. One fairly easy 
possibility would be to simply allow free-text entries in the varslot (ok, 
it's not quite as simple to code this as it may seem, but it's certainly 
feasible). Expert users could then simply enter plain R syntax like "c (1, 2, 
3, 4)" instead of choosing an object from the varselector.
If you're looking for something more sophisticated, to help the newbie user as 
well, then I'm afraid, I have no good idea, what this could look like. If you 
have something specific in mind, could you outline your ideas?

By filing a wishlist item ;-) Well, seriously, there's no support for this, 
yet, but I have two changes in mind, which would add that possibility. For 
one thing, I'll probably add the option to source some plain R commands on 
startup. Another thing is that the package selection/installation dialog 
should probably be redesigned completely. Then it might also be a good idea 
to add a "preload" checkbox for all packages.
However, neither plan is at the top of my priorities at the moment.

BTW, from the screenshot you sent, it looks like you've already created an 
impressive number of plugins. Maybe you could put what you have so far in a 
tar.gz and send it to the list. Then we could try out all the neat new 
plugins, even if some may not be quite finished, yet.

Regards
Thomas
