[rkward-devel] Simple questions

[Horace Tso]

Since going over to Ubuntu from Opensuse a month ago, I've started using Rkward more intensely and have found it to be a great frontend to R. In many ways, it's more integrated than Tinn-R on Windows. Kudo to all the developers (Thomas Friedrichsmeier and others whom I'm not as familiar) and the people on this list.

I wonder if there is a way to make certain customizations, mostly cosmetic changes to enhance the user experience.

1. I see the console is set to display a fixed number of columns, regardless of the size of the Rkward window. I wonder if I could change that. I've looked into Configure... --> Console and found nothing there for this purpose.

2. I often want to copy the output of a command from the console and paste it onto the script. In the console CRTL-c doesn't work as copy. It takes a right click on the mouse to bring up the "cleaned copy" command. Is there a way to assign a shortcut key to this and other commands. I understand the underlying editor is actually Kate and it may not offer much flexibility in this regard.

3. Is it possible to create multiple graphic windows and direct a plot command to a specific one?

4. How does one interrupt an R process? In Windows, it's ESC but it doesn't seem to work in Rkward.

Thanks.

Horace
