Recommendations for Windows text editor for R [clo

问题:

Any recommendations for a good Windows text editor for R?

I've been using Tinn-R, and it's been working reasonably well, but am curious to know what else people use.

回答1:

Vim is usually a favorite.

回答2:

Emacs with ESS, which you can install via Vincent Goulet's prepackaged versions. No further configuration needed.

One really nice things about Emacs/ESS is that it behaves the same no matter which OS you are on, which makes switching a lot easier.

回答3:

This list is still pretty current, I think with one notable exception.

Check out R Studio, as well.

回答4:

I used Notepad++ with NppToR and found it quite lightweight and effective.

回答5:

I use Eclipse and StatET.

回答6:

Rstudio editor is the best I found so far. It has plots window,console and editor all custom split in one screen that I found incredibly useful. All the historical plots windows are neatly organised and very easy to do a comparison by flipping through it. Historical commands are saved and easy to execute.

Here's an archived list of IDE/script editors for R compiled by Philippe Grosjean.

The original link is now dead.

回答8:

Zeus editor

回答9:

SciTE supports R.

回答10:

I use Tinn-R because it lets me step through my code, or just send bits of it to the R window, which I find incredibly useful. The ability to highlight a few lines and hit send just meshes well with my workflow habits. I'd love to find a similar tool for Python (I'm sure someone will tell me what it is). However the NPPtoR link looks very interesting and I will have to try that.

回答11:

Emacs is usually a favorite.

回答12:

Vim and emacs are the hardest to learn, but once you get used to one of them, you're most likely to stay with it for many many years

回答13:

I switched from Tinn-R to Eclipse with the StatET plug-in.

回答14:

My vote is for vim, because I can use it on all systems I can think of, both in graphical and terminal mode.

回答15:

I use gvim. Not sure how popular that is with other Windows users, but the following set of utilities come in handy and can be used by any editor capable of binding keys/functions to commands:

batchfiles contains batch (.bat) and javascript (.hta and .js) files useful in conjuction with R and R packages on Microsoft Windows. There is no formal installation, each consists of a single file and is independent of the others so just place any or all of them anywhere in your Windows path and you will be able to access them in any Windows console session.

In particular, the AutoHotKey scripts in that bundle are nice for sending selected text to an R console.
