[R] R and ViM

[Bill West]

Here is my solution for integrating R and Vim.  It uses the rcom library and
Vim's perl functionality.  Improvements or suggestions are appreciated!
#######
The following is my r.vim file.  This requires the rcom library in R.


perl << EOF
sub sendtor
{
    use Win32::OLE;
    my @pos = $curwin->Cursor();
    my $coms = $curbuf->Get($pos[0]);
    my @coms = split /\n/ , $coms;
    VIM::Msg($coms[0]);
        my $R = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('RCOMServerLib.StatConnector')
          || Win32::OLE->new('RCOMServerLib.StatConnector');
        $R->EvaluateNoReturn( "cat('> " . $coms[0] . "\n')");
        

    unless ( $coms[0] =~ /<-/ || $coms[0] =~ /print/ )
    {
        $coms[0] = "print(" . $coms[0] . ")";
    }
    my $temp = $R->Evaluate( $coms[0] );
    $R->Close;
}
EOF

function! Rcom()
   perl sendtor
endfunction

function! Rinit()
    !start rgui   
endfunction

map <F11> <Esc>:call Rcom()<cr>j
map <F12> <Esc>:call Rinit()<cr>

Indeed. Please do check the archives.

Now back to the subject:  Jose, I think your main contribution is based on
"autoHotKeys"  and that only works on Windoze, right? 
Michael explicitly mentioned he's working in Mac OS X.
