- when pasting a large array, rows should not be added one by one. Suggested algorithm:
- if we find out we've already pasted 100 rows, first check, how many more are to come and add this many both to the variable and to the R workspace. Can potentially avoid *lots* of work

- delay of factor-level popup

- Create an editor for single vectors/factors, or rework RKEditorDataFrame to handle those as well
- - Rework package management dialog
- - the UI should probably be simplified somehow. But how? All in a single list with "filter"? Ask for ideas/look at other apps
- - this will be very hard to do with the current Qt. We'd really need several checkboxes *within* a QListViewItem. Tackle this when/after porting to Qt4
- - add option to remove packages
- - smooth handling of updating packages installed in different repositories
+ - Package management dialog
- auto-updating functionality (every x days, every new session, never; see https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=37960665)
+ - What about the checkBuilt-option to old.packages()
- RObjectListView
- double click action should be configurable: View, Edit, insert name into current script, insert name into console, nothing
- - context menu action "detach" for package environments (probably with a warning, at least for base packages)
- RKConsole:
- is tab completion for file names still crashy?
- currently, problem seems to be inside KUrlCompletion
- - one additional newline character printed with every line
- - Console should start a command chain when submitting a batch of pasted commands
- - Better yet, the commands might be autosplit in the backend. Need to think about how to design this correctly, though
- - Allow pasting at other positions than line end
+ - Fix pasting at other positions than line end
- Prevent cursor from venturing into lines other than the last line

- RKVarslot:
- when adding vars to a multi varslot, these should become selected (so you can removed them again with a single click)
- RKVarselector:
- pop-up-able selectors (maybe more generic, not only for varselectors): Like a "Browse" button

Internal stuff:
- RCommand deletion
- dealing synchronously with commands (e.g. via a modal RKProgressControl) would be so much easier, if the commands would not be deleted quite as soon!
- rklocalesupport:
- does locale switching / detection work? Does Qt have something, yet?
- - Workspace browser / code completion
- - we might make this a bit less pro-active:
- - only objects directly on the search path need to be fetched at once
- - children of these objects do not need to be investigated until we first try to access a child of the object.
- - i.e. RContainerobject::children() should handle fetching the child structure (numChildren() should probably be populated pro-actively).
- - isParentOf() should not be affected, as this can only be true for a child object that has previously been investigated
- - need to make sure, completions are not blocking
