[R] Windows editor suggestions - autosave

[Jonathan P Daily]

I can also suggest the following:

Notepad++ has an AutoSave plugin, a slew of other useful features, and a 
Scintilla editor. If you use other languages, it is also extensible and 
has almost no learning curve. NppToR is a background application that 
allows you to pass lines or files straight from your editor to an R 
console.

Notepad++: notepad-plus-plus.org
NppToR: sourceforge.net/projects/npptor/ 

I can also suggest Geany, another Scintilla-powered editor. In the plugins 
list, Save Actions has a autosave feature. While Geany doesn't have a 
native R interface in Windows (I wrote one for myself in AutoHotKey in 
about 2 mins), it has a ton of other options and is cross-platform.
