Understanding how this project works / what the features are #20

This is more of a support request. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I would like to understand how exactly the project works, or what kinds of features it enables.

I have installed R-IDE and LSP, and now I read:

Upon successful execution, you should see a badge called rlang in the status bar.

I did see starting rlang there after opening an R file in the current Sublime project, but now it shows nothing related to it:

I have the following entries in my menu bar under R-IDE:

… but I also have a menu bar entry called R-Box (I previously had R-Box installed, but had already removed it from Package Control).

What feature should I be looking for, or how can I verify it's working? Perhaps it would make sense to briefly explain what the main features of this project are, to make it easier for people to discover it.

I thought the same thing... then I went to the preferences for R-IDE, and there are comments in there showing how to replicate 'Set working directory' and 'Source Current File' commands from R-Box into the R-IDE menu. I have now added 'Launch Radian' and 'Clear Workspace' and 'Source Current Line / Selection'. I think Randy has done a great job making a more flexible upgrade of R-Box.
