If I remember well, then you should rather use the raw-data tag,
if you want to directly use Scheme.

Sure, you can override the behaviour of kbd-right and kbd-left
when you are inside an R session. However, I would not recommend
directly using -> and <- for this purpose, because users will
have difficulties to move outside the brackets when needed.
I rather suggest to overload the tab key to search for
empty brackets [], before trying to do tab completion.
Or use yet another keyboard shortcut for this purpose.

Best wishes, --Joris
