Hello,
I am an R user migrating from Windows to Linux and have started using ESS (a matter of hours ago). My R style working style leans heavily towards from source files (in one window) and pasting code into R (GUI) for execution.
TINN was a good friend in this regard and engrained a heavy reliance on mouse work in me. I.e., highlight --> right click /copy --> right click/paste or highlight --> press button to eval. Working in Xemacs/ESS (under Linux and Windows) has made me feel a little clumsy as I automatically use old habits with no results!
May I shamelessly (not having digested the EMACS manual) ask a basic question?
(1) ESS (or is it emacs) changes the font color of text between quotation marks to a light grey which strains my eyes enourmously! I have not been able to locate this parameter in the options. Can someone point me in the right direction?
(2) C-c <ret> copies input ...but what pastes input (analagous to C-v in many applications) ?
I understand that C-c C-j evaluates the source in R, but what if I want to copy from one text file to another?
(3) Are there X-windows/Windows style mouse button bindings availlable for ESS? E.g., center button paste? right button --> edit option menu?
Thank you most sincerely!
