thanks Chuck

this sounds very interesting!

i installed polymode from melpa and added this config

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results none
(use-package polymode
 :ensure t
 :config
(require 'poly-R)
(require 'poly-org)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org" . poly-org-mode))
 )
#+END_SRC

i then loaded a .org file with R code and entered C-c C-n in the R code
block yet nothing happens and the point moves to the end of the block

are there additional config needed (keybinds, etc?), what am i missing?

best
