[R-SIG-Mac] please recommend an editor

[Parlamis Franklin]

since this topic is pretty popular, let me mention a problem i have  
found with the integrated editor from R.app:

the "undo typing" command seems to remove an arbitrary number of  
keystrokes.  at times, i will make a mistake, then when i go to undo  
it, i find the editor has undone not only my mistake but a  
significant amount of prior work.  it is difficult to produce a  
replicable example, because i am not sure whether the number of  
keystrokes that are undone is a function of time between the  
keystrokes, or some other grouping mechanism.   i apologize for not  
including one.

just wondering, has anyone else experienced this?  is it a bug, or a  
setting?
