Some more general name or description may attract more users #33

Thanks for the great package. I am very happy to find the way to send a selected text to iTerm.

Now that iTerm and Terminal.app can receive the command, non-R users will also be able to enjoy the advantage of this package. I think that the package should get more attention (or search hits) by more general name like send-to-console or exec-in-console, or by short description that contains the relevant words like "terminal".

Hi @heavywatal ,

Thanks for your interest. I completely agree and have considered this. The biggest thing keeping me from doing this is the context specific enhancements that knowing you are modifying on R provides (e.g. knitr specific blocks). I realize that this could be generalized to the specific context, but frankly, it's a bit too much work for me to do right now. I am happy to help someone refactor if they are interested, or help in the fork.
