Kind of playing devil's advocate here, but I have learned to make use of the
.Rhistory. Whenever I work on a particular project, I start R in that
directory. Then I have some history to recall via the comint history
mechanism, i.e., comint-previous-matching-input-from-input. Stuff like
calling library() on the package I am working on, other commonly issued
commands. Of course, any code I really care about keeping is stored in
separate files. It's just nice to have context-dependent shortcuts. That
said, I probably would end up turning off the .Rhistory, because one has to
be very careful to avoid dropping a .Rhistory in the wrong spot.
