Ability to edit R

[anzacsf2010]

Hello, this is not an issue, more of a request to see if there was any plan to have R code show up just like we have for those other languages (PHP, Python, etc...), i.e., a way for the editor to recognize .r files and understand what keywords are, etc....

Just for completeness new languages can be added if Ace supports the language in question (R in this case). Then add the format to manifest.json and src/settings/ace.modes.json. The explanation of the structure of ace.modes.json:

"yml": { "<-- The file extension",
  "icon": "devicon devicon-devicon-plain", "<-- The font icon class (see the font-awesome, font-devicon, and font-mfizz subfolders in the vendor folder)",
  "mode": "yaml", "<-- The Ace language mode"
  "name": "Yaml", "<-- The name displayed in the editor"
}
