    Many thanks for rkward, which I use most of the time I run R on ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 (which is a lot of time!)

    One thing that I find inconvenient is having to use the mouse to change the focus from
    the script editor to the console.  Would it be possible to define on shortcut key (please, one, not
    a combination) so that the focus would change from one window to the other?
    Please excuse me if this exists already and have not found it!

    You should be able to change any shortcut from

    settings > configure shortcuts

    I'm not sure, though, which version of RKWard that has this option, I use 0.5.5-devel1 according to the about dialog

    Hi!

    This is an often requested feature. It is in our tracker, here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2930505&group_id=50231&atid=459010 .

    Quoting from there:

    agree this would be nice to have, and eventually we will have this.

    Unfortunately, realizing this is technically more difficult than it may
    seem, and so this will not happen right away. Two more alternatives for the
    interim:
    1) Repeatedly pressing Alt+5 will also switch between console and current
    script, but with the side-effect of hiding the console while the script
    window is active.
    2) You can detach the console or the script window (or both;
    Windows->Detach) and use the Alt+Tab feature of the window manager to
    switch between the two.
