This is on my own to-do list, and that is to learn and use EMACS. Everyone I know who does programming and has used it never goes back to another integrated editor system (they all swear by it and chide me for not having yet learned it myself). Supposedly the DJGPP/Emacs implementation does syntax highlighting and other things that RHide with its editor does plus a whole lot more (I think that is how the claim goes). My guess is you can define your own key sequences/macro actions to do exactly what you want in Emacs, as you described above. I use RHide myself now, and don't believe you can do what you described above. I do intend to give Emacs a try, but with abysmally poor Internet service in this part of the globe, it took weeks just to ftp (and I am using the 'reget' feature of the protocol by the way) the basic djgpp and rhide implentations, and getting the extras may take longer.
