R console only shows text/comments - r

My R console seems to be stuck or something. It only shows the comments and doesn't execute the commands. I have had this more often. In the beginning R works fine and then at some point it stops working and only shows the comments. Is there a way to fix this?

Rmarkdownon Kaggle: Can you spot what's going on?

it's been a few days that im trying to run my Rmd on Kaggle, but it simply doesn't work.
The main reason (I guess) is that, somehow the console is reading the code as an R code, but im sure that I'm using Rmarkdown.
Therefore, the console reads a Text line as a code line, giving me the code error below:
Also, i tried to copy and edit other's people markdown, but i keep getting the same error line.
You can check my code here: https://www.kaggle.com/badluckmath/kernel4c85aae59c/edit/run/39891200
He's working perfectly on my Rstudio.
I'm looking for a huge help here, please!
I've been stuck with this for a week!
If i press the buttom to run code, it will simply give me this error message.
For that, i still don't know the solution. But since this is a premade Rmarkdown and i knew that it works, i simple used the Save (Commit) options and at the end, it worked.

R studio console suddenly does not show output

here are my console output examples
as you see, there are no output values when using r studio console.
Actually, there are many related issues about this, but no clear solutions. Only a temporal or Adhoc solution like: restart R or using r notebook script.
Anyway, this phenomenon happens just 1 day ago, with the same code, same operations.
At the first time, console works and a few minutes later it doesn't work.
It is so annoying me to restart or run r notebook script...
Is anybody have the same issues as me?
(I cannot give reproducible data, because it works well the other's computer)
Click on the gear icon beside knit and make sure that "chunk output in console" is enabled.

How can I run multiple lines of code in R

I have just switched from windows 7 to windows 10 on my pc.
When I was still using windows 7, using the combination CTRL+R or CTRL+ENTER would run the line of code that I was in. Moreover, if the code continued on one or more lines below or started above my current line, it would run the entire section without me having to select it.
After switching to windows 10, the same combinations will only run the line of code that I am currently in, or the piece of code that is selected by me. To give an example:
#Tryout
for(i in 1:3){
print(i)
}
This code would normally run at once without having to select it, even when I would start in the first line (#Tryout). Now, if I don't select, I will need to use CTRL+R or CTRL+ENTER three times to go through this code and I have to start in the correct line. Starting in the line #Tryout will not run any part of the code but will only result in the line #Tryout being shown in the console.
I'm not good with computers (in your answers please pretend to be adressing a five-year-old) so I had one of my colleagues look at it who's our expert on R. Here are the findings:
The problem occurs in both RStudio as the standalone version of R.
I'm using R version 3.3.2, the same as before the windows update. Switching to version 3.5 didn't solve the problem.
I have other colleagues also using R 3.3 in combination with windows 10 for whom this problem does not occur.
Going to Tools-Global Options-Code and checking the box of 'Focus console after executing from source' doesn't help
When we went to 'Modify Keyboard Shortcuts', the name attached to the shortcut (CTRL+R or CTRL+ENTER) was the same as it was for other colleagues for which the function does run all lines in a command: 'Run Current Line or Selection'
The problem is not preventing me from using R, but it is tedious and I hope someone can help me to solve it.
Thanks so much for reading!
Click on header Tools, then Global Options..., then Code, then Ctrl + Enter Executes and choose Multi-line R statement
#M Waz & #Just Burfi: I know I can select the code and then run it, that works fine. But I don't want to have to manually select the code all the time.
#Clemsang: your answer puzzled me for a moment because I didn't have the CTRL + Enter Executes that you were referring to. I went back to my colleague who had the bright idea to check the version of RStudio that I was using.
As it turns out, I was using an old version (0.99.903). Now that I've installed a newer version (1.1.463), running the code works as before! I also have the CTRL + Enter Executes now.

r plot shows up only when I type in console but not in script

I ran into a very weird problem: my R code for generating a plot only works if I type it into the console but not when I ran it inside the script (with Ctrl+Enter command)... It's the same problem with all plots (regular plots or ggplots). Also I tried it on two different computers and the same thing happened. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
One possible reason: I installed the newest version of Rstudio on both computers so it might be an issue with the version. The exact same code worked before on an older version of rstudio...Could this be it? If so, how can I fix it?
I think I figured out what the problem was: the setting in the new version of Rstudio has a default option of outputting the plots inside the Rmarkdown script (at the very end of the script). And that's why I wasn't seeing them. You could change the setting such that it outputs in the console.
Try dev.off() to reset the graphics device.
This helps with a lot of weird graphics behaviour.
Probably too late for the original poster... However, I just ran into the same problem after installing an R update. The way I fixed it was to go to preferences, R markdown, and turn off "show inline output". For me, it was just coming out at the bottom of the chunk instead of in the plot window like I wanted. Hope that helps someone!
I just ran into this problem. I mistakenly put my plot() command inside the r markdown setup chunk. I moved it to its own code chunk and it ran as expected.

Preventing what was/were previously copied on to my clipboard from appearing on R Console when using R

I am having some problems with my clipboard contents when using R. When I run my scripts/commands in tinn-r, very often I would get something that I had ran earlier pasted onto my R Console instead of the command that I have just selected.
To get over this, I would go to my clipboard and delete its content(text/syntax). However, the same text/syntax that I had just deleted would re-appear on my clipboard and would again appear on my R Console when trying to run a different syntax from my tinn-r.
Good luck. Tinn-R seems to be a particularly buggy way of interacting with R. Though it takes some effort to set up, the StatET plugin interface from Eclipse has been working way better for me than Tinn-R ever did.
