I am using Sage (or SageMath) for doing some mathematics, and I would like to make it a habit of mine to use it and to teach it to students. However I have an organisational problem on how to use Sage!
As far as I know, there are these options to use Sage:
on a terminal
on a notebook
However, I would like to use it writing my code in separated script files well documented and running them on a terminal once it is done. Is there a way to do so?
Besides the SageMath tutorial which has a section on ways to use SageMath, some alternative lists have been provided as answers to some questions on Ask Sage, such as
Ask Sage question 42876: Other than Jupyter notebook is there any other way to use Sage
Ask Sage question 34350: Installing on Windows 10
Maybe you would be interested in the
Sage-shell-mode for Emacs
or maybe in running Sage in an IDE like PyCharm or Spyder, in which case see
Make PyCharm recognise the Sage python interpreter
Note also Tomer Bauer's 2019-06 "Introduction to Sage"
as a Jupyter slideshow available from the
Talks and presentations page on the Sage wiki
for another nice way to use Sage in a teaching context.

I am using Julia.
I am trying to get some greek characters in Jupyter notebooks.
First I downloaded the latest version of Julia 1.6.2
For the jupyter connection I used anaconda, in julia repl i put ] add IJulia, and then I could chose the Julia kernel in Jupyter.
Then a friend suggested to download vs code (since we got a problem in the working directory with jupyter-anaconda)
In VS code we got no problem with working directories. And to work with notebooks we installed the Jupyter extension. It was working very well, but we got to this problem that we cannot get greek characters.
In Jupyter (anaconda) I could easily put greek characters, like this:
no package needed, nothing, just like that.
However in VSCode I cannot get that, nor "predictive text" or coding suggestions:
Any tips on how to solve this?
Like we are preferring VS Code and we know there's a way to get the greek characters on it, but we don't know how.
Any help is very welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Check out the docs for the Julia extension in VS code here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/julia. Per the comments above, make sure this is installed and you have the Julia kernel selected. You should then see the following:
Is there an easy way to have R record all input and output from your R session to disk while you are working with R interactively?
In R.app on Mac OS X I can do a File->Save..., but it isn't much help in recovering the commands I had entered when R crashes.
I have tried using sink(...,split=T), but it doesn't seem to do exactly what I am looking for.
Many of us use ESS / Emacs for this very reason. Saving old sessions with extension '.Rt' even gives you mode-specific commands for re-running parts of your session.
Greg Snow wrote recently on the R-help list (a very valuable resource, SO R people!):
"You may also want to look at ?TeachingDemos::txtStart as an alternative to sink, one advantage is that the commands as well as the output can be included. With a little more work you can also include graphical output into a transcript file."

Check out the savehistory() command
I'm not sure yet how to answer an answer, but there is an updated version of Ranke's vim r-plugin called r-plugin2 available here. It seems more user-friendly and robust than the original.
Emacs is good, but for those of us with a vi preference there's the vim-r plugin at:

It works brilliantly and has a tiny memory footprint.
Is is possible to change the "Control + R" shortcut for sending scripts from the R text editor in the Windows GUI to the R console? I'd like to change it to "Control + Enter" to be more like the shortcut on my Mac. I do all my normal work on a Mac but have to use R on a PC to interface with some PC-only computational software.
Additional tidbits:
I'd rather not run an IDE on the PC if I don't have to, though perhaps this is the solution.
I use Rstudio on my Mac, but Rstudio does not get along with the PC software I'm running
The short answer is:
"No, there are no [built-in] ways to alter the menu shortcuts in the R Console"
I'm however gathering here -community wiki style- some of suggestions posted as remarks to this questions.
One approach may be to download the R source, hack it (see circa line 625 of src/gnuwin32/editor.c: ), and build the R binary anew (see the R for Windows FAQ for the tools you need to build from source). This seems to be a rather radical approach for the mere convenience of using an alternate keystroke sequence...
A similar approach may be to create an automatic patcher program which would patch the R executable, by locating the byte patterns surrounding the compiled logic of editor.c mentioned above and replacing it with a byte sequence for the desired keystroke. This solution may be sensitive to changes in the binaries, but also avoids the build process altogether...
An easier way to achieve this is probably by using an external text editor. Most modern editors have macros or configs that can be used, for example, to execute a source command in R for the selected text.
Customizing keyboard shortcuts is made available in Rstudio 0.99.644.
See https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206382178-Customizing-Keyboard-Shortcuts for more information.
after using sciviews-K for a while, I am about to give the R Eclipse combo another chanced. I updated to Helios on my Mac OS X Snow Leopard. So far everything that used to make trouble with Eclipse works, but somehow I miss the auto-completion of code. Or at least the standard suggestion of paramaters when you use R functions. This is even possible in the standard R GUI.
How can I use some of these enhancements with StatET Eclipse?
Thx in advance for not telling me to use Emacs / ESS !
Looks like you can't have an answer shorter than 15 characters, so here is some elaborate text to pass this silly check. Try pressing Ctrl+Space.
