About Key Bindings in RStudio

[baggord]

Hello,

I'm trying to set RStudio as my main IDE. I've been searching but couldn't find a solution. I wonder if it's possible to the following in RStudio:

• Copy and cut whole line, without selecting it (Ctrl+X: cut the line where the cursor is)
• Search documents in working directory. (Ctrl+P in VSCode.)
• Comment/Uncomment selected lines in a code chunk in Rmarkdown via a keyboard shortcut
• Add python code block in Rmarkdown with a keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl+Alt+I for R code blocks)

Regards,

This has not been implemented -- you might consider filing a feature request at Issues · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub.

• Search documents in working directory. (Ctrl+P in VSCode.)

This is usually done via the "fuzzy finder", with Ctrl + .. Note that this navigates both function definitions as well as files located in the active project.

• Comment/Uncomment selected lines in a code chunk in Rmarkdown via a keyboard shortcut

Lines and be commented + uncommented with Ctrl + Alt + C.

@baggord

• Add python code block in Rmarkdown with a keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl+Alt+I for R code blocks)

There isn't a preset keybinding for this, but you could add your own keybinding via Tools -> Modify Keyboard Shortcuts, with a binding for the Insert Chunk Python command.

Thanks for the reply,

Comment Uncomment doesn't work in RMarkdown code chunks, is this normal?

Comment Uncomment doesn't work in RMarkdown code chunks, is this normal?

It seems to work for me (macOS 11.0.1; RStudio 1.4.1069). Would you mind filing this as a bug report at Issues · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub, with some extra context on what exactly you're seeing?
