Running R inside a buffer in Vim


If you do not need to input unicode, you can consider using ConqueShell plugin.


In the meanwhile, the 'evil' (extensible vi emulation layer) mode has matured. This is a vim emulator running in Emacs and works quite well for me.


Another option, and forgive me for pointing you back to EMACS,

viper-mode

It's an EMACS mode that makes EMACS feel more like Vim, while giving you full access to the wonderful, mind-boggling complexity of EMACS if you ever want it.
