Hi all,
I am generally quite fond of the unix commandline keystrokes (e.g.
searching
back in your history with [CTRL]-R, and cutting/pasting with [CTRL]-
K/Y)
which work in the R commandline in *nix. Does anyone know if
there's any
way to get similar functionality in the Windows RGUI?
I know that as of now, [CTRL]-A and -E do the same as unix
(beginning and
end of line) and [CTRL]-Y does a paste, but [CTRL]-K crops from the
cursor
to the end of the line but doesn't put the text into the clipboard.
the
most important thing I want is the [CTRL]-R functionality which is
so poorly
approximated by pressing the up arrow a million times.
I've searched on the archives and didn't find anything about this.
Any
thoughts?
My memory from using RGUI in Windows is that <up-arrow> provided that
functionality. I do not remember needing to do any special set-up to
get that behavior.
It is mentioned on p2 of
<http://www.wcsmalaysia.org/stats/PDF/Starting_R.pdf>
.... so I think my memory is still working.
