I've attached mine as well... This is using the updated code (using sink).

It indeed would be good to have it documented (at least statically)
somewhere: may be the INSTALL file under "Automated tests" section?

The idea is that these are not "required" for rkward to run. It is
required only when the corresponding plugins are used. Ideally, it
would be nice if the plugins remain disabled in the absence of
required libraries.

I remember a mail long time, someone suggesting to bring in the emacs
style shortcuts.. may be it was on the kile list! That would be really
nice ;)

I think it is intuitive in an editor environment, not at a command
prompt. Whether it is the native R prompt, Matlab prompt, or any shell
prompt - ctrl+c is to interrupt.

So, I strongly suggest that Ctrl+C should remain as abort/interrupt
shortcut in R Console. To select multiple lines from R Console one
_has_ to use the mouse anyway, so might as well, right click and copy.
Everywhere else Ctrl+C works. It would be nice to have the right click
menu on help pages and tab bar, though.
