Dear fellow R users,
is there a generic way to gracefully interrupt an R function without
terminating the entire session ? I am mainly interested in this answer for
Linux and MacOS.
I found neither Esc nor Ctrl-C to work; it seems that R does not check for
signals periodically?

Well, Ctrl-C works for me. Rather than check for signals, R installs a signal handler and gets the OS to do the work.

On Mac OS it is unclear if you mean R or R.app. R.app has a Stop sign icon, amongst other ways.

Also, an entirely unrelated question: I have been looking unsuccessfully for
the R sources for the examples given in Simon Wood's book on Generalized
Additive Models. I had hoped they would be part of the mgcv package but they
are not.
Has anyone had any luck with this ?

Why not ask him directly?

Thanks,
Markus
