Hi, this sounds awfully similar to what I reported in r-help thread '[R] Windows Vista, Rterm & LeftAlt + Tab issue' on Aug 21, 2008, cf.
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-August/171548.html At least we are not alone ;) ...and I though it was an issue with Windows Vista only, because I didn't notice any problem with Windows XP Pro I had before. It might have been that I only had SP 2 (I think), so it may be related to post-SP 2 updates that are also included in Vista. In Windows, you can shift between applications using either LeftAlt+TAB or RightAlt+TAB, but I discovered that the freezing problem only occurred with LeftAlt+TAB, which is the combination I use most frequently. I ended up remapping the physical left-most Alt key (on a US keyboard) to signal Right Alt (and vice versa for the right-most Alt key). I used KeyTweak [http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/] do this. Since then I've forgot about the issue, so I guess it works to circumvent the problem. Let us know if this solves your problem Henrik On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 10:54 AM, CB <cb.li...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've been trying to use Rterm.exe, mainly because of Rgui.exe's lack of > support for incremental history searching.
