[rkward-devel] R Console shortcuts on the Mac

[Frederik Aust]

Hi,

I'm quite happy with the shortcuts implemented in RKWard so far but 
there are two things that keeps throwing me off.

(1) I often try out various commands in the console before pasting them 
into my scripts. To copy code from the console it is neccessary to 
right-click and "Copy section literally". The usual Cmd-C is used to 
abort running R processes.

(2) When working in Mac OS X Terminal processes are usually aborted with 
Ctrl-C, just like on a Linux machine. Thus, I usually expect Ctrl-C to 
abort a running R process.

In my opinion there is a common solution for both issues. If Ctrl-C 
aborted R processes this would free up Cmd-C to copy text from the R 
console. Is Crtl-C used for anything, yet?

Regards,
Frederik
