In Atom, my code syntax highlighting has been working fine. Then yesterday, I rebooted my computer for probably the first time in a month and when I open Atom, all my syntax highlighting is incorrect.
The language is auto-detected correctly, but all the syntax highlighting is different and incorrect on all files regardless of language.
I've restarted Atom a bunch of times. Tried --safe mode. I have noticed that if I turn of "Tree Sitter" parsing in my config, that syntax highlighting is corrected for some languages such as Javascript, but not all.
Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?
I'm on Mac OS Majave Version 10.14.6, and Atom version 1.57.9 x64
The syntax highlighting is determined by a combination of language grammar (which provides the rules) and your theme (which colours those rules). So, it could be either was updated since you last restarted Atom.
Another possibility is that the language grammar switched from the old TextMate default to tree-sitter. This can be toggled in Atom's core settings.
I'll now be working between a Mac and a PC using R/RStudio for the projects. I've got a series of keyboard shortcuts (pipe, assignment operator) for each machine using keys that are conveniently located. The two computers don't have the same keyboards.
I'd like to create a script that I can run that tells R/RStudio to change all keyboard shortcuts to x or y? My question is: Can keyboard shortcuts be set using code in scripts or the terminal?
According to the documentation :
The RStudio keybindings are saved as JSON files in the directory ~/.R/rstudio/keybindings/ -- you can find the bindings for the editor and RStudio itself at:
~/.R/rstudio/keybindings/rstudio_commands.json
~/.R/rstudio/keybindings/editor_commands.json
I think you can make a script that edit json then restart R
I recently discovered a portable version of R and RStudio #
http://rportable.sourceforge.net/
Open source rocks!
At any-rate, I am jumping from pc to pc at my university, and I'd like to get Portable R-studio to recognize Portable R as the default R version. Most computers at the university already have several versions of r-installed, and RStudio uses one of those versions of R. When I go into the Global Options to change the default version, it does not "see" portable R on the USB drive.
I am basically hopping I can run R without constantly having to download packages, specifying the work directory, downloading Scripts, data from Google Drive, etc...
Any suggestions? I am open. Thanks for your help.
I did not need to touch the registry.
I first installed R portable and then R Studio portable, both from Sourceforge.
After launching R Studio for the first time, I was shown the option of choosing the installation of R to be used, as shown in
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486138-Using-Different-Versions-of-R
I browsed to branch \PortableApps\R-Portable\App\R-Portable\bin, where executables are located. There I selected the 64-bit version.
If you want to change later the version used, you open R Studio and go to Tools -> Option -> General -> R Version.
This avoids modifying the registry, with the two advantages of Portable Apps:
Leaving no trace of the app in the system (or, at least, a much milder one).
Being really portable (or, at least, much more so).
On Windows, RStudio uses the system registry to find where installed versions of R are located. You'll need to edit the registry yourself to let it know about new versions. Fortunately you can do this in HKEY_CURRENT_USER so admin rights shouldn't be required. Here are the keys and values you'll want to write:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#Does-R-use-the-Registry_003f
More detail about how RStudio selects the R version to run here:
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486138-Using-Different-Versions-of-R
The link to R Portable above is a bit misleading. In order to run a portable version of R AND RStudio, you also need the 27MB portable RStudio here. What's even more confusing is that it has the same name as the RPortable file.
It took me a bit of time to figure that one out. Perhaps you could edit your question to point to both for those who wish for an IDE?
And, IMHO, it's not truly portable, because when you move from one machine to another you need to specify the R version on your USB drive and also the work directory. Pity.
I manage to link RStudio (not portable version) to the aforementioned version of R Portable, directly through Global Options -> R Version -> Choose a specific version of R -> Browse,
and the trick was selecting the R-Portable\App\R-Portable folder. Choosing another one doesnt allow RStudio to find the instalation.
Im running RStudio 1.1.463.
Bye!
I just installed R Studio on my mac (was previously using on my virtual Windows machine). I am taking a class in which we learn to use R. The fix() function was demonstrated and when I ran it on my dataset it opened up an editor that was pretty ugly and done in X11 - that is, X11 launched automatically. The person next to me ran the same function but on her computer the pretty and I assume default R editor popped up. I have searched the internet and the options/preferences within R but cannot figure out how to both find out what the default would be if I did not have X11 installed AND change the editor in R Studio back to that program.
I can handle basic command line stuff if this is buried in a file I have to access through terminal/fancy preferences.
Has anyone run into this or have an idea of where to look? I don't want to use a text editor; just that nice-looking default program. Thanks!
I apologize if this has already been asked a different way but I couldn't find anything getting at what I wanted.
I am really getting into R from other packages (SPSS). As I learn about what truly can be done, I realize that there are additional "tools" that I need. This gets me to my question.
What setup do you have for developing R code? I can't see myself actually developing r packages anywhere in the near future, but I do see myself wanting to manage my r projects effeciently, as well as create reports and presentations in LaTeX.
For context, I develop my R code in Eclipse for Windows, but I have had a real hard time successfully setting up Latex/Sweave and Github plugins.
Lastly, do you develop code using Windows or something else?
Many thanks in advance for any insight you can lend.
Emacs has everything I commonly need:
ESS (for R),
AucTeX (for Latex),
similarly rich 'modes' for other languages I use (C++, make, shell, ...),
plus a lot of other modes you get quite used to as e.g. dired for directory/file browsing or org-mode as planner/to-do list,
the SVN integration is very good too
and there are probably a number of tools within Emacs I am now forgetting.
Works in text mode as well as graphical mode, and works essentially the same (incl ESS and AucTeX) on several operating systems (Linux mostly and Windows when I must). On Debian/Ubuntu all this is prepackaged and tends to work out of the box as well. For both Windows and OS X, Vincent Goulet has package very handy bundles, see here.
The 'daemon mode' is outstanding too -- I keep the same main Emacs session running and just connect and re-connect to it even when accessing the machine (via ssh or directly) from different computers.
Also see the EmacsWiki for more tips around Emacs.
Back to Emacs and R in particular. The R FAQ says it pretty well:
6.1 Is there Emacs support for R?
6.2 Should I run R from within Emacs?
and I like the affirmative and resounding answer to the second question: "Yes, definitely". I fully concur.
I'll second the suggestion that Emacs compliments R nicely, but let me share what the "killer feature" is for me.
Using Org-mode with Org-babel, I can write whole reports with inline graphs produced from R in raster and vector format which compiles seamlessly into a PDF report via latex. I can also view the graphs while editing, similar to a WYSIWYG editor.
I just wrapped up a major report with over 70 inline graphs with little effort, no editing external files, no issues maintaining naming between figures in my report and external files, or forgetting to recompile the latest version of a figure. Org & Babel does it all.
Org-mode:
http://orgmode.org/
Org-Babel:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/index.php
Example of inline R with Babel and PDF output, see the first example in multiple formats:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-R.php
Enjoy!
This is probably more relevant for package development, but it is also worth mentioning the roxygen R package that allows in-source documentation of your code. Note that even though you can't see yourself developing R packages anywhere in the near future, a package can be a very handy way of grouping related functions you develop and maintain, consistently documenting the code and keeping track of updates, even if you do not plan to distribute it.
I use a mac, and my most important tools are:
the command line, for running R
git, for keeping track of changes
github for publishing my code, bug tracking and collaboration
textmate for writing R code
Has anyone tried RStudio? It's the shiny new editor for R.
I use windows... (don't say it).
I like Notepad++ and NPPtoR. Makes it pretty easy to send things back and forth.
I use Eclipse on Windows and Linux. I compile LaTeX code (with Sweave) on Linux and I haven't bothered yet to set up the whole process in Eclipse. I need to pdflatex and bibtex files several times anyway, so I just have a terminal window with the specific string of commands handy. I tried ESS and Eclipse and they're very similar in functionality (and in my opinion the best two editors out there).
I use Eclipse / StatEt on Windows, and it Rocks !. For LaTex/Sweave I use MikTex which works well for me. For help setting things up check out this document and this post.
Other Tools you may find useful include;
If you want to build R Packages on
Windows, then get the RTools
For
Creating Documents, you may want to
check out odfWeave,
LibreOffice (was OpenOffice) and
the MSOffice ODF plugin
I have also
dabbled with Git but also didn't get
very far on Windows, but that was a
while ago.
For Presentations in LaTex
I recomend Beamer
I use Eclipse for both R and Latex while working on research papers. The plugins for both are very mature now. The nice thing is that you don't have to switch application while writing papers. I used different combination before but I found this to be the best.
I just got home from our local R User meeting (find one near you here) and of the 20 or so people there, all of us used a different program or tool to write R code in. I think that goes to show the diversity of the tools used to write and edit R code is just as diverse as the R community itself.
