All,
Apologies if this was already answered... I couldn't find an answer that
specifically addressed Mac OS instead of either windows or linux. I use
"aquamacs emacs" as my text editor. It is essentially Xemacs with a GUI
that looks closer to standard Mac GUIs, as far as I can tell. I installed
the GUI-friendly Mac version of R. I can have R choose the aquamacs as the
editor of choice, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do any script
executions. E.g., highlighting part of the script and then hitting CTRL-R
or something similar to get just a portion of the script to run.
I would install ESS, since I know that is supposed to help emacs talk to
R, but I have no confidence that it either (a) works for the Mac (if so, do
I install the unix version?
Yes, it works, and yes install following the unix instructions:
http://stat.ethz.ch/ESS/Manual/readme.html#Unix-installation
if I do that, can I only run it on my Mac via
the unix command calls?), or (b) works with the aquamacs editor.
It will work either way. However, running emacs in a terminal window has
some annoyances.
In aquamacs, you might want to disable clover-Q and clover-P if the clover
key sits next to the meta key and if your fingers are a clumsy as mine - I
was constantly killing sessions or starting the print dialog when all I
wanted was to fill-paragraph or recall the last command via
comint-previous-input.
HTH,
Chuck
p.s. Mac stuff should go to R-sig-mac.
I don't
care about the editor so much, I could find a less fancy text editor. But I
don't really know how to install ESS properly on a mac.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
