Suggestion: Add keyboard shortcut for "View(.Last.value)"

I frequently look at the .Last.value, it would be great if it were possible to customize a keyboard shortcut to do this.

You might consider filing "suggestions" as "enhancements" or feature requests as an issue in the RStudio IDE repo.

There's a quick paragraph about doing so here (sorry, the preview isn't where the anchor will take you):

rstudio/rstudio/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#enhancements

## Filing Bugs

If you're experiencing behavior that appears to be a bug in RStudio, you're welcome to [file an issue](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/new). Before you do, please go through this pre-flight checklist:

1. Is the source of the error or problem the RStudio IDE itself? Many errors you see inside RStudio come from R or R packages. If you're having trouble with R, read [Getting Help with R](https://www.r-project.org/help.html) for pointers.

2. Is your issue a bug rather than a question? If you're having general trouble with RStudio or have questions for the RStudio community, the [RStudio Community Forum](https://community.rstudio.com/c/rstudio-ide) is an excellent resource.

3. Are you the first person to report this issue? [Search the issue list](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues) to find out. If you aren't, the most helpful thing you can do is vote for the existing issue (add a +1 reaction to it), and optionally add a comment describing your own experience.

When you're ready to file an issue, see our [guide to writing good bug reports](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/wiki/Writing-Good-Bug-Reports) for more on how to write a great bug report.

## Enhancements

You're also welcome to submit ideas for enhancements to RStudio. When doing so, please [search the issue list](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues) to see if the enhancement has already been filed. If it has, vote for it (add a reaction to it) and optionally add a comment with your perspective on the idea. 

See our [guide to writing feature requests](https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/wiki/Writing-Good-Feature-Requests) for more on how to write a great feature request.

There are also a couple of ways you can do this yourself:

Make a snippet (e.g. vlv) for yourself that expands to View(.Last.value). See Code Snippets.
Make an RStudio add-in. Here is a tutorial on making an add-in that inserts %>% when a keyboard shortcut is pressed. You can follow that example and just change the text.

If you don't want to build a full addin , @yonicd has an addin that gives you bindable addin slots for your own addin functions, among other things. https://github.com/yonicd/rsam/blob/master/README.md

See 'limited liability' addins. Kind of cool for quickly trying something out.

Thanks to both of you!
