RStudio has a native feature (and keyboard shortcut) to run the next chunk in Rmarkdown and move the cursor to it (Ctrl + Alt + N). I'd like to be able to run the current chunk and move the cursor to the next one. I just want to run each chunk successively, without skipping the first one, and by seeing what I'm about to run. Is there a way to do that? Do I have to write an addin?
This is a late answer. but still useful for someone looking for it.
Start with ctrl + alt + c and then keep hitting ctrl + alt + n. It will do what you are trying to do
The behaviour of the existing Execute Next Chunk command has bothered me for quite some time.
One workaround that executes the current chunk and then moves to the beginning of the next chunk uses the shrtcts package, which lets you assign Keyboard Shortcuts to arbitrary R Code, in combination with the rstudioapi package:
Use the command shrtcts::edit_shortcuts() in the RStudio Console to open the file where you define your custom shortcuts.
Paste the following code inside that file (set your preferred keybinding in the #shortcut line):
#' Run Current Chunk and Advance
#'
#' #description Run Current RMarkdown Chunk and Advance to Next Chunk
#' #interactive
#' #shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Enter
function() {
rstudioapi::executeCommand(commandId = "executeCurrentChunk")
rstudioapi::executeCommand(commandId = "goToNextChunk") |>
capture.output() |>
invisible()
}
This solution uses the native pipe |> and thus requires R 4.1.
You can of course just define separate variables in each line or use the magrittr pipe if you use earlier versions of R.
Use the command shrtcts::add_rstudio_shortcuts(set_keyboard_shortcuts = TRUE) in the RStudio Console to add the new shortcut with its assigned keybinding. Then restart RStudio.
One potential downside of this approach is that you cannot press e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Enter multiple times in advance even though the first chunks are still running since the line
rstudioapi::executeCommand(commandId = "goToNextChunk")
gets executed only after
rstudioapi::executeCommand(commandId = "executeCurrentChunk")
has finished.

I'm currently designing a CLI interface for linux, and for various reasons I am not able to use ncurses. I am using exclusively C++ and the Qt framework.
Therefore, in order to have a user-friendly interface, I have to run this getch loop in a separate thread:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/912796/3605689
Which basically means I have to implement all basic functionalities (such as backspace) by myself. I have already implemented command completion and command history(like when you press tab or uparrow/downarrow in linux), but I can't figure out how to implement leftarrow/rightarrow (aka seeking through the typeahead).
Normally, I implement it like this: upon every gech which is not equal to -1, I check whether the user has pressed a special key (one that modifies the typeahead somehow). I then clear the stdout using the following function:
void inputobject::clear_line(int nletters)
{
QTextStream(stdout) << "\033[2K";
for(int i = 0; i < nletters;i++){
QTextStream(stdout) << "\b";
}
rewind(stdout);
}
And replace it with something else, effectively simulating the typeahead. For example, in the case of backspace, I would save the command call clear_line, and print the command out again, just with one less letter, behaving exactly as a normal console application would.
My real problem is with the cursor, in the case of left/rightarrow, I need to move the cursor visual in order to be able to indicate where in the text is the user seeking:
Because of the nature of how I rewrite the given stdout line to simulate the typeahead, it does not really matter where the cursor REALLY is, as long as it stays on the same line - it is just the visual that matters. How can I achieve moving the cursor visual on linux?

Cursor Movement
ANSI escape sequences allow you to move the cursor around the screen at will. This is more useful for full screen user interfaces generated by shell scripts, but can also be used in prompts. The movement escape sequences are as follows:
Position the Cursor:
\033[;H
Or
\033[L;Cf
puts the cursor at line L and column C.
Move the cursor up N lines:
\033[NA
Move the cursor down N lines:
\033[NB
Move the cursor forward N columns:
\033[NC
Move the cursor backward N columns:
\033[ND
Clear the screen, move to (0,0):
\033[2J
Erase to end of line:
\033[K
Save cursor position:
\033[s
Restore cursor position:
\033[u
Not using ncurses and co is a serious limitation.
It is hell to make correct input/output on shell for displaying anything.
The only others real solutions (I can't think as a solution to reimplement a ncurse-like library) I think of are:
making call to dialog (for some example www.linuxjournal.com/article/2807 and for the doc: http://linux.die.net/man/1/dialog)
using the framebuffer mecanism with Qt4 (here)
When Running my code I really only want to display the code I'm working on. I don't want to display what seems to be the folder address. Is there a way to not display that?
I mean when im running my code. I want to see the answer to my code only so to just display

.... not the folder name desktop/cpp etc etc
I noticed you were having some trouble with VS-Code.
Here's a good list of commands which can complete your task.
I noticed you stated that you were on a Mac as well, so more than likely the CTRL + option won't be necessary; try the " ⌘ + " instead!
To remove / hide the folder explorer window, simply hit "⌘ + b"
To remove / hide the terminal as well, try using "⌘ + `"
Edit:
I noticed you were also having some issues with the output of your code. The "addresses" to your output are symbols that ( usually ) address incorrect operations.
Try doing something like this when writing out your function:
printf( "i%\n" ); // <- Adding a newline to the operation deducts the symbol.
I hope this helps-

I just want to know that how to retrieve all the record from universe database table using universe basic subroutine.I am new in universe.
Perhaps something like this in the unibasic
OPEN "filename" to FIL ELSE STOP 201,"cannot open filename"
EXECUTE "SELECT filename"
LOOP WHILE READNEXT ID
READ REC FROM FIL,ID ELSE REC = ""
* you now have the entire row in REC
REPEAT
Can you provide more information on what you are trying to do?
Having a subroutine call return the entire contents of a UniVerse file could return a large amount of data. I would expect you would be better off only returning a subset of the items so the calling routine can process a bit at a time.
New content based on comment:
Ok, since you mentioned a type 19 file, I assume you want to read one file from the directory/folder the file points to.
In your subroutine, you can use OPEN on the type 19 file, and use the READ command to read the file. ( Note that you can also use READU, READL, MATREAD, MATREADU, or MATREADL to get the entire file in the directory/folder, depending on if/how you want to lock the item and if you want the data in a dynamic or dimensioned array. If you only need a specific attribute you can then use READV, READVL or READVU commands.
Or, since this is a type 19 file, you can use sequential reads. Open the file with OPENSEQ and read with the READSEQ or READBLK command.
There is an article and sample code on GitHub on how to execute U2 UniVerse Subroutine.
Execute Rocket MV U2 Subroutine Asynchronously using C# (async\await) and U2 Toolkit for .NET. Convert Subroutine Multi-Value Output to Json/Objects/DataTable
These sample code are based on C# (async\await), but you can use for synchronous programming as well with little code tweak.

OPEN '',FILENAME TO F.FILE ELSE STOP
SELECT F.FILE
LOOP
READNEXT K.FILE ELSE EXIT
READ R.FILE FROM F.FILE, K.FILE ELSE NULL
PRINT R.FILE
REPEAT
PRINT "All over Red Rover"
Filename should be in quotes, i.e "MYFILE" or 'MYFILE'
The loop will repeat till all records have been read and will then exit.
I use the following lines to output my simulation's progress info in my c++ program,
double N=0;
double percent=0;
double total = 1000000;
for (int i; i<total; ++i)
{
percent = 100*i/total;
printf("\r[%6.4f%%]",percent);
}
It works fine!
But the problem is I see the terminal cursor keeps blinking cyclically through the numbers, this is very annoying, anyone knows how to get rid of this?
I've seen some programs like wget or ubuntu apt, they use progress bar or percentages too, but they seems no blinking cursor issue, I am wondering how did they do that?
Thanks!
You can hide and show the cursor using the DECTCEM (DEC text cursor enable mode) mode in DECSM and DECRM:
fputs("\e[?25l", stdout); /* hide the cursor */
fputs("\e[?25h", stdout); /* show the cursor */
Just a guess: try to use a proper number of '\b' (backspace) characters instead of '\r'.
== EDIT ==
I'm not a Linux shell wizard, but this may work:
system("setterm -cursor off");
// ...display percentages...
system("setterm -cursor on");
Don't forget to #include <cstdlib> or <iostream>.
One way to avoid a blinking cursor is (as suggested) to hide the cursor temporarily.
However, that is only part of the solution. Your program should also take this into account:
after hiding the cursor and modifying the screen, before showing the cursor again move it back to the original location.
hiding/showing the cursor only keeps the cursor from noticeably blinking when your updates take only a small amount of time. If you happened to mix this with some time-consuming process, your cursor will blink.
The suggested solution using setterm is not portable; it is specific to the Linux console. And running an executable using system is not really necessary. But even running
system("tput civis");
...
system("tput cnorm");
is an improvement over using setterm.
Checking the source-code for wget doesn't find any cursor-hiding escape sequences. What you're seeing with its progress bar is that it leaves the cursor in roughly the same place whenever it does something time-consuming. The output to the terminal takes so little time that you do not notice the momentary rewrite of the line (by printing a carriage return, then writing most of the line over again). If it were slower, then hiding the cursor would help — up to a point.
By the way — this cursor-hiding technique is used in the terminal drivers for some editors (vim and vile).
Those apps are probably using ncurses. See mvaddstr
The reason the cursor jumps around is because stdout is buffered, so you don't know actually how many characters are being printed at some point in time. The reason wget does not have a jumping cursor is that they are actually printing to stderr instead, which is unbuffered. Try the following:
fprintf(stderr, "\r[%6.4f%%]", percent);
This also has the advantage of not cluttering the file if you are saving the rest of the output somewhere using a pipe like:
$ ./executable > log.data
Press insert key...if that doesn't work then press the fn key in your keyboard.
This will definitely work
Hope this helps
