I changed the code for it a bit in that respect.
Now you can select the function declaration and send it to the Rdaemon, switch to the Rdaemon doc, and you can use that function (the Rdaemon console is not "messed up", error messages could be seen with opt+apple+A 2). ... Of course, if there is a need to have also/only the "old" behaviour I can add/change this. Any comments?
Ah, I see. Interesting approach. I do like that in some circumstances.
Other times, however, it is nice to get some immediate feedback on errors and/or R output when sending selections of text to Rdaemon. I guess the disadvantage is that you can't have multiple console windows open without consequences. (Although I've never found myself doing that.)
Might be nice to simply have two bundle commands: one to send silently and one to update the console and output the result.
This new behaviour reminds me of the Emacs + ESS command 'evaluate this line/region' without switching focus. On that note, as an alternative, would it be possible to have a selection sent to the console, the output displayed, and the focus shifted back (or always staying on) the R source code window? I would find that quite useful.
Thanks for all your work! Sean
