@thibaultmol @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I totally agree. We even use the #okular part in #RKWard. Okular is really great software.
I've got to say, I'm *very* impressed with #RKward from #KDE. It's a phenomenal piece of software, and it blends with the rest of my desktop perfectly. KDE has far better visual cohesion in its tools than Windows, and it's at least as cohesive as MacOS. All that, while being super user-friendly, with most tasks automated!
#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

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.
I started a small survey in the LinkedIn group "The R Project for Statistical Computing" about #RKWard. The results so far:
- Turns out that 83 % don't know it and
- circa 8 % use it.
There were 139 people who participated in the survey. Given that RKWard is among the oldest #rstats IDEs and GUIs [1], it is somewhat surprising. I suppose we should improve the advertising of our tool.
