Additional Addins for RStudio
I'm a really big fan of some of the RStudio Addins. Most notable: datapasta, clipr, and snippetsaddins. There are so many other greats ones but I use these over and over. The most comprehensive list can be found at the addinslist. A cool thing with Addins is that you can assign them to Keyboard Shortcuts.
As I write code in R, some things I type repetitively. Especially as I style and commment my code. I created these Addins to turn some of those things into keyboard shortcuts. I did pretty much the same thing using RStudio snippets, but this project gave me the personal benefit of learning about Addins.
Inspiration from
insertBigBreakAddin: Inserts the text that I use when I am coding and want to indicate a big section break.insertLittleBreakAddin: Inserts the text that I use when I am coding and want to indicate a little section break.
Once installed, in RStudio, I navigate to Tools > Modify keyboard shortcuts, and make the following assignments
Ctrl+Alt+Bfor the Big Break, andCtrl+Alt+Lfor the Little Break
Not sure if these conflict with other keyboard shortcuts (as of 2018-05-03).
