#Aquamacs .rmd code
And the R code chunks still leverage all the handy ESS functionality of being able to run the code as you edit. One of the many lovely features is that you can embed code chunks in a structured document, not unlike Sweave, but you can embed chunks of *any* arbitrary language, not just R. I also *highly* recommend looking into org-mode, which is another killer package that is now coming bundled into most distributions of Emacs (the GNU Emacs v 24 comes with the most updated org-mode version). It improves the syntax highlighting and adds a lot of useful functionality, but doesn't make anything more complicated, if you don't want to use the bells and whistles. If you work a lot with LaTeX/Sweave, I highly recommend getting the AUCTeX package. I finally gave it a shot and it has literally changed my life, much for the better.
I knew about ESS, but resisted Emacs for a while due to the learning curve. So what else is out there? Maybe it’s time to try TextMate? In general I prefer free and cross platform, but I can make exceptions.Īnother vote for Emacs! I was in the exact same boat as you a while back, frustrated by the lack of a good editor that had everything I needed.
#Aquamacs .rmd driver
But I just upgraded to R 2.15 and the built in graphics driver (and a few other options) no longer work. However, it worked so I’ve been using it. It also has somewhat lousy graphics support and does not allow for fuzzy help searches (?’help’). When I made the switch to Mac I went with StatET on Eclipse StatET has more or less all those things, but it is not simple or straightforward (or maybe just Eclipse is too complex for me). Good SWeave support with some built in LaTeX tools.A flexible, simple, and powerful Find and Replace Interface.
#Aquamacs .rmd install
Free,lightweight with an easy install and a slim UI.I used to use Tinn-R which met most my needs: Let me correct that, I can never seem to get exactly what I want from an R text editor on a MAC. (not (equal input-filename (concat path ".I can never seem to get exactly what I want from an R text editor. (path (if (stringp input-filename)(file-name-directory input-filename)))) (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-c f") (lambda () (interactive) If it doesn't work for you, let me know what's happening and I'll see if I can figure it out.ĮDIT (January 6, 2014): First working draft.ĮDIT (January 13, 2014): Added the missing portion of the code relating to the variable path.
Here is something that works with a generic version of Emacs - the key binding is Control+c f Aquamacs has a million things that are customized based upon the developer's decisions, and I haven't spent time with Aquamacs for several months now.
