zepl.vim VS Nvim-R

You could write a command that runs commands in your terminal window without changing tabs. Checkout zepl.vim's source code for an example. Its gz operator and :ReplSend command send text to the terminal. So you could replace all of your steps with :ReplSend node restart or whatever.

Then I interface with jupyter-qtconsole within vim via Zepl, my favorite REPL plugin: https://github.com/axvr/zepl.vim

I use neovim with zepl and set up lsp with lsp-config and coq_nvim. It allows me to use the R repl while still using vim commands in a terminal. If you want some of those extras that an ide would give you, like file browsing and listing environments, then I don't really know of any alternatives to rstudio, other than vscode.

Try zepl, :Repl bash, C-w j, :new, type some stuff in that buffer with ins-completion and do gzz to send it to the bash session.

If you do a lot of R coding, then a package more specific to R, and more fully featured is Nvim-R.

The whole reason I ended up going this route was also sort of data-science related: there’s a really spectacular R plugin for Vim, which I wanted to recapitulate as best I could when using python: https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R

I am slowly getting into using neovim. I am now trying to setup my R programming environment. I have successfully installed Nvim-R with Packer (https://github.com/jalvesaq/Nvim-R). Now, I would like to use the radian console (https://github.com/randy3k/radian/blob/master/README.md#nvim-r-support). In the documentation, it is said to put this in the config file:

But just wondering if people have tried using it with the Nvim-R plugin? I'm not sure it is worth the effort for me looking through the steps needed. Also, do I need to switch my init.vim/vimrc to lua? Perspectives appreciated!

However, there doesn't seem to be much available support yet for Quarto editing. The only plugin I could find is limited to syntax highlighting. To my knowledge, Quarto also isn't a built-in filetype yet. I've worked around this by manually creating a filetype and using R Markdown syntax highlighting with the Nvim-R plugin, which lets me send R code in chunks to a REPL and see results while I edit. Nvim-R also supports evaluation of Python code chunks using an R package that evaluates Python code, but that's not an ideal solution for editing a Python-only file.

looking for a neovim plugin that's similar to Nvim-R, but for python.

For that reason, I want to use Nvim-R in combination with ncm-R. I get the completion to work if I use it manually with Ctrl+x Ctrl+o, but it does not start automatically. My init.vim file looks like this:

I use Nvim-R. It took a bit of time to learn the key bindings, but the documentation is pretty clear.

If you want to go in a very different direction, you can try vim (or neovim) with nvim-r. For a variety of reasons, that’s what I tend to use.

nvim + Nvim-R user here as well.
