Set commentstring for R files about nvim-r HOT 4 CLOSED

commentstring is already set by the ftplugin/r.vim that ships with Vim/Neovim. See:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/ftplugin/r.vim
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/runtime/ftplugin/r.vim

Moreover, I believe that:

• we don't need equalprg because indent/r.vim does the job;
• we don't need makeprg because R is interpreted and not compiled.

Perhaps makeprg could be Rscript\ % or R\ CMD\ BATCH\ %.

I see -- the ftplugins are the right place for this. Thank you. I still wonder why commentstring is not automatically set for my *.R files in my vim and nvim...

from nvim-r.

On Ubuntu 16.04, it is set automatically in both Vim and Neovim. My vimrc for Vim is:

set nocompatible
call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'jalvesaq/Nvim-R'
call plug#end()
filetype plugin indent on
syntax on
let R_tmux_split = 1

Perhaps you have something in your vimrc or in ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/r.vim or somewhere else preventing commentstring of being set.

Thank you for you help. Hmm, I can't find the problem. I never change thecommentstring in my vimrc (except to fix the problem), I have no other plugins related to R, and I have exactly the r.vim files (which you mentioned) installed with vim/neovim. (And I also have nocompatible, filetype plugin indent on and syntax.)

Well, it works with my autocmd workaround. Thanks for this great plugin!
