In andrewheiss/raddath: Andrew's RStudio Addins

raddath

RStudio addins let you run R code or a Shiny app through the Rstudio IDE, either via the Addins dropdown menu or with a keyboard shortcut.

RStudio docs on addins (with examples): https://rstudio.github.io/rstudioaddins/

To use addins:

• Run RStudio v0.99.878 or later
  • https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/
• Run rstudioapi package v0.5 or later
  • install.packages("rstudioapi", type = "source")
• Populate your Addins dropdown menus with some examples
  • devtools::install_github("rstudio/addinexamples", type = "source")

Addins

view_object_addin

The view_object_addin takes selected text and pipes it into View() so you can inspect it in RStudio without typing the command in the console or finding and clicking on it in the "Environment" panel. The addin works best when you assign it a keyboard shortcut, like ctrl + shift + v.

To use this addin:

• Run very recent RStudio IDE and rstudioapi package (see above)
• Run devtools::install_github("andrewheiss/raddath")
• Go to Tools > Addins > Browse Addins > Keyboard shortcuts…
• Assign "View object" a keyboard shortcut
• Select code, press the keyboard shortcut, and voila!

Credits

I basically pilfered the template for this addin from Jenny Bryan's jadd.
