Integrating R with Geany

According to landroni, R can also be easily integrated with Geany:

Download 0.19 (non-optional), then you need to set send_selection_unsafe=true in geany.conf and assign "Send selection to terminal" to a ctrl+r keybinding or similar.

As long as your Geany installation has support for the embedded virtual terminal emulator (VTE), you're ready to go (as far as I know, this requirement excludes Windows). Start R in the terminal, write some R code and send the line or selection with ctrl+r.

It will be nice to automatically start R when sending a program to the terminal.

Should it also work in 0.2?

Note that you have to manually remove any existing r binding (at least in 0.2)

Cool. Have you tried other alternatives out there, such as Rstudio, Emacs + ESS, or Eclipse + StatET?

Where do I assign "Send selection to terminal" to a ctrl+r keybinding?
