yes, thanks for the instructions. You can also get there more directly
via Settings->Configure RKWard, and then selecting the Add-ons page.

As far as I understand "Symbol list" simply supports a certain set of
languages, and R is not among those. I suppose, in theory it could be
useful, e.g. if users are developing an package containing C code.

Ok, for now I've highlighted some "useful" plugins in bold. Thinking
about it, I did not yet hide anything, so everybody can take a look.

Good point. How would everybody feel about renaming that action to
"Open File", with a default extentions filter for R script files that
can also be changed to any file.

BTW: Did you find any time for the snippets? Even if it's not
"complete", I think it would really be helpful to provide a small
selection for a start.
