In famuvie/straddin: RStudio str() addin

straddin

Peek at objects with a keystroke.

As much as I like RStudio's Environment pane, sometimes I want to see the structure of objects not yet created, or intermediate objects in a pipe-chain, or perhaps the structure of a large object.

1. install package and restart RStudio

   r remotes::install_github('famuvie/straddin')

2. Define some key-binding for straddin

   RStudio menu: Tools:Addins:Browse Addins:Keyboard shorcuts....

   I use Alt+Shift+S/0/1/2/M/? for full structure, structure at level 0, 1 or 2, summary and help respectively.

3. highlight something

4. print structure

Example

tidyr::gather(mtcars, variable, value)

Highlighting the previous line and pressing Alt+Shift+S executes the following

str(tidyr::gather(mtcars, variable, value))
