I know this email was from a while back, but I thought I'd let you know 
that manageR now has some simple syntax highlighting capabilities, as 
well as basic code completion. Both are configurable via the config.ini 
file located in the manageR directory.

Basically, your config file looks like this:

[general]
name: manageR
version: 0.6.8
description: Interface to the R statistical programming language
author: Carson J. Q. Farmer <carson.farmer at gmail.com>
qgisMinimumVersion: 1.0
theme: Classic
auto_completion: True
delay: 500

You can safely alter 'theme', 'auto_completion', and/or 'delay':
* 'theme' can be one of four different syntax highlighting themes 
(Classic, Matrix, Cobalt, and Oblivion).
* 'auto_completion' should be either True (use autocompletion), or False 
(don't use autocompletion).
* 'delay' simply specifies the time (in milliseconds) before suggestions 
are given when typing text.

Eventually, I'll make it easier to customise these things, but for now I 
think the config file is the best way to go.

Hopefully these improvements work ok for you, and please let me know if 
you think of any other useful additions to manageR!
