---+ Favorite Computing Tools * R: Statistical computing and graphics * R: Data manipulation and munging * !LaTeX: Composition and typesetting of complex documents where fine control is needed * =Rmarkdown= with =knitr= and =Rstudio= for reproducible statistical reports, handouts, presentations, using [[KnitrHtmlTemplate][this template]] * Linux: Operating system * Pop_os: Version of Linux (based on Ubuntu + Gnome) * Email: * Vanderbilt work-related: =outlook.office.com= * Personal mail: [[http://zoho.com zoho.com]] at =fh@fharrell.com= * Email archive: gmail * To avoid storing attachments to outgoing email (and filling up my email storage space quota) I have a =bash= shell command =cattach= that copies the file to send to my server and puts the full URL to the file in the system clipboard; I then type =ctrl-v= to paste this URL into the body of the email * R code editor: RStudio * !LaTeX editor: RStudio, !TexStudio, Geany, Atom * knitr + !LaTeX + html + R editor: RStudio * [[Microsoft Visual Studio Code][http://code.visualstudio.com]] and Geany: General purpose editors/IDEs * RSS news reader: [[http://inoreader.com Inoreader]] * Personal web server and blog platform: Hugo + R blogdown + Github + netlify + Google Domains: =fharrell.com= * Bibliographic database: [[http://zotero.org][zotero]] * File server: =nextcloud= * Password manager: [[http://bitwarden.com Bitwarden]] ---+++ Notes * Geany is a nice editor for !LaTeX and R code except for some key bindings * Geany gives a nice \section \subsection view of !LaTeX documents but separates sections into a separate navigation group than subsections * !TexStudio displays the correct hierarchical structure of !LaTeX sections/subsections * Emacs handles everything but I have seen some instability when combining all of them (e.g., !AucTeX + ESS + Noweb) ---++++ Editing Efficiency Here are some needs for efficient editing *without* using the mouse. There are editors such as the ones above that handle some of these needs but there is no perfect editor that handles all of them simultaneously. In parentheses are the Emacs keys to perform the indicated function. In brackets are names of programs that handle the function elegantly. * Delete the current line: !TexStudio ^k, RStudio ^d, geany ^k * Delete text to the right of the cursor in the current line (^k): geany ^Shift Delete, RStudio ^k * Insert text in the clipboard (^y); RStudio ^y * Move the cursor to the beginning of the current line (^a) * Move the cursor to the end of the current line (^e) * Fold logical units (e.g., functions in R, \section in !LaTeX) [RStudio, !TexStudio, Geany] * Navigation tree to jump to logical units [TexStudio, Geany] Some useful shortcuts to define * !TexStudio: Meta+z (Window key + z) = toggle full-screen mode under View
