@HydrePrever You could give #RKWard a try. It is pretty accessible even without a mouse. We have support for vim and key bindings, since our IDE editor is based on #Kate editor.
RKWard has an R terminal and a console (terminal) (can be enabled/modified via the settings under Kate plugins).
@thibaultmol @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I totally agree. We even use the #okular part in #RKWard. Okular is really great software.
#RKWard 0.8.0 is officially available for download, today. You can read up on the details, and pick the correct download for your platform on https://rkward.kde.org, as usual. Thanks to all contributors!
Good news! 
RKWard 0.8.0 is now available for download! 
This new release brings native PDF preview mode (automatic document type detection), ability to select different R version/installation at runtime, and more! 
It's the first version to be based on #Qt6/#KF6. Check out the full list of changes: https://rkward.kde.org/News.html

in case you are testing the CI builds of #RKWard AppImages, you can now call `rk.download_appimage()` to update your current image with the most recent one. add the `overwrite=TRUE` (or `o=T`) argument to actually replace the file. see `?rk.download_appimage` for more options. if RKWard doesn't find that function, your #AppImage is too old:

there's now also an experimental RKWard plugin you can test:
here's another hint to a very simple, but potentially powerful feature that #RKWard has for quite a while (available in current stable releases): in the bottom right menu, you can restart the #R session without restarting the whole application. this will remove all objects from your workspace and unload all packages, while leaving all editor tabs etc. untouched.
do the final run of your scripts in a vanilla environment. also especially helpful for #rstats package development.
I just discovered a tool that might be quite useful for others while working with #rstats and #rmarkdown
Occasionally, I just add #bibtem|s in my #Rmd instead of #bibtex in an extra file. Here is a tool to make bibitems easily.

Update: I have added in example (screenshot) using #RWKard as #IDE.
#RKWard it's one of the oldest GUIs and IDEs to learn and work with #rstats. Here is a nice source:

One of the upcoming RKWard features is a #rmarkdown PDF preview function (#Rnw likely too) which hopefully will work soon as on the development branch.
@caos ich habe alles mögliche auf #markdown umgestellt, ggf. in kombination mit #Rmarkdown. nutze das live-preview von #RKWard dafür laufend.
@cboettig @kjhealy It is difficult, but possible, to communicate the best of both worlds together.
E.g.,
[R] > system("ls")
is my friend.
For example, I show my students how to do calls from external tools within R. Of course, it is also possible.
And the misunderstanding about R scripts and RStudio can only be confirmed. People think #RStudio is #rstats. Which, of course, is not quite right. When I show the students #RKWard, they always ask if the R/Rmd scripts run there too. 
@beps I truly understand what you mean. I am now talking a little about #RKWard. We have a solid integration of #git, #rio and some other tools. #quarto works. A tight integration of #styler would be nice. We have a good R console and a terminal. Likewise, we don't have the deep integration of #devtools, #roxygen2 and #pkgdown. Some find it good (I) others find it a hindrance.
In the end, there are many good choices.
The practical thing about #RKWard is that you can enter commands for each session that are always executed. For example, you can use this to load certain packages as standard. Here in the example I use the great library data.table, which is automatically loaded at each start of RKWard.
