RStudio: Send package example code to Console

[Cowlumbus]

The help document of a package usually has some Examples. Can we select nay chunk of the example code and send it to the Console to run it?

Currently, right click the selection, there are two options: Copy, Inspect. I'd like to have another option: Run Selection.

I am so lazy to use 'Copy' and 'Paste'.

Thanks.

With te preview version of Rstudio (1.2.1226-2) you can select the example and pres Ctrl + Enter

Thanks Andresrce!

you can also just enter example(function) in the console

Thanks. I normally just want to run a chunk of the code to test the results, not necessarily following the sequence of the example(function).

You've probably guessed I am a MATLAB user. Yes. In MATLAB, you can select any chunk of code in the help document and right click it to run it.

This has actually been a feature since 1.1! See this earlier discussion :

Running example code from help viewer pane

Hello, I thought I remembered that there was a way to run example code from the help viewer pane in your R console using the IDE. But I can't seem to find anything about this online or on the IDE cheatsheet. Does it exist or am I imagining things? Obviously I can just copy and paste, of course, too. Thanks, Alison

Just wish RStudio can go one step further, add it to the right key: right click the selection -> in the popup, add one more option "Run Selection" in addtion to the current two options: Copy; Inspect.
