RStudio Keyboard Shortcuts

Once you've setup an RStudio Addin via shrtcts, there are two ways to link the shortcut's addin to a keyboard shortcut.

You can verify and list the current shortcuts and their keyboard bindings with [list_shortcuts()].

old_opts <- options(shrtcts.path = system.file("ex-shrtcts.R", package = "shrtcts"), shrtcts.addins_json = system.file("ex-addins.json", package = "shrtcts"), width = 90)
shrtcts::list_shortcuts()
options(old_opts)

Declare Keyboard Shortcuts in `.shrtcts.R`

You can use the @shortcut tag to declare the shortcut in .shrtcts.R (or shortcut: in the YAML .shrtcts.yml).

To update the keyboard shortcuts (for shrtcts only!), set set_keyboard_shortcuts = TRUE when calling add_rstudio_shortcuts(). If you use this method, shortcuts set manually in RStudio will be overwritten, so you should choose one method or the other.

.shrtcts.R

r #' Say Something Nice #' #' @description A demo of cool things #' @interactive #' @shortcut Ctrl+Alt+P praise::praise

.shrtcts.yml

yaml - Name: Say Something Nice Description: A demo of cool things Binding: praise::praise shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+P Interactive: true

A full restart of RStudio is required whenever shrtcts udpates the shortcut keybindings. shrtcts only manages keybindings for its own addins, and it doesn't check for conflicting key combinations, so you may want to double check the RStudio menu.

If anything goes wrong, a backup of the keybindings are saved as addins.json.bak in the same folder where addins.json was found. Use location_addins_json() to find this file.
