            Bug ID: 463346
           Summary: Make R console compatible with 'cli' R package
    Classification: Applications
           Product: rkward
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: rkward-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: flyos at mailoo.org
  Target Milestone: ---

The console interface of RKWard is starting to get incompatible with much of
the sugar coming from tidyverse packages, especially when it comes to features
provided by the 'cli' package. This package is, among other things, responsible
for output colouration (in error messages, printing tibbles, etc.) and since
very recently, for printing progress bars in e.g. purrr package.

Although those features work in R itself and even modified interfaces such a
radian, they do not work in RKWard (colours are overridden and, most
problematically, purrr's progress bar are not shown at all). This is the crux
of the bug here.

I know this is not a very easy request, but would there be a way to make RKWard
R console closer to pure R console (or to radian, for that matter?), in order
to avoid such incompatibilities? 

(My dream would be to be able to use directly radian as RKWard's console, as it
offers very nice features missing from RKWard's R console such history browsing
because on completion, multiline input, access to bash terminal and so on, but
I know this is not a mere matter of plugin a program into the window of
another...)
