[R] Syntax Highlightning and Editor for Linux

[Alaios]

I would like to thank you for your immediate reply.
Actually I do not like vim and emacs.. I am trying to find an editor with a gui 
that will work fine in Linux.

One more question. If I am editing a file using my external text editor is it 
possible to execute directly one of the functions that are inside the file 
without executing the source("myfile.R") command first?

Best Regards
Alex

I don't use Linux, but I think the most popular editors there are vim and emacs, 
the latter with ESS.

Yes, see the setBreakpoint() and trace() functions.
