RStudio Addin Manager

{rsam} provides a command line and user interface to manage RStudio addins.

Installation

Since {rsam} manages the rstudio addins it must write to disk.

remotes::install_github('yonicd/rsam')

Permissions

{rsam} needs explicit user permissions to write to disk. There are two questions that need to be answered for the package to run as intended.

• Do you agree to let {rsam} manipulate the addins jsons used to manage RStudio addin keyboard shortcuts?

• Do you agree to let {rsam} duplicate the dcf files of the installed addins in your .libPaths() and manipulate them to manage RStudio Addins dropdown list?

Answering the affirmative to both will allow {rsam} to manipulate non R related files. Answering only one will allow for a narrow application of {rsam}.

There are two ways to set answers to the questions:

1. On load or attach of the library a prompt is invoked asking the two questions. This is done to set the permissions once a session.

2. Use rsam::create_yml() to write _rsam.yml to the home directory (~). In this file there are three fields. When loading {rsam} looks for this file and if it exists then uses the field settings instead of asking questions via prompts.

Building Keyboard Shortcuts

rsam has a validation for keyboard keys through the class key

KEYS$`left command/window key`
#> [1] "Command"
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "character" "key"

KEYS$shift
#> [1] "Shift"
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "character" "key"

KEYS$i
#> [1] "I"
#> attr(,"class")
#> [1] "character" "key"

key <- KEYS$`left command/window key` + KEYS$shift + KEYS$i

key
#> [1] "Command+Shift+I"

Set Keyboard Shortcut for Addins

set_shortcut(fn = 'blogdown::serve_site',shortcut = key)

#if the binding already has a shortcut mapped to it `overide` must be TRUE
set_shortcut(fn = 'blogdown::serve_site',shortcut = key, overide = TRUE)

Remove Keyboard Shortcut for Addins

rm_shortcut(fn = 'blogdown::serve_site')

Toggle Addins on/off

Every time a binding is passed to the toggle_addin function it will switch states.

toggle_addin(key = c("blogdown::serve_site","blogdown::new_post_addin","blogdown::update_meta_addin"))

Limited Liability Addins

rsam gives you 3 empty addins to pass into them whatever you want and run them as your personal addins. You can also set keyboard shortcuts for each one with set_shortcut.

Pass through an expression wrapped the global objects rsam_fn_1(), rsam_fn_2(), and rsam_fn_3() into the Rstudio Addin list.

rsam_fn_1 <- function(){
  library(ggplot2)
  library(dplyr)
  
  iris%>%ggplot(aes(x=Sepal.Length,y=Sepal.Width)) + geom_point()
}

# Change shortcuts to whatever you want

keys <- KEYS$`left command/window key` + KEYS$shift + KEYS$l

rsam::set_shortcut(fn = 'rsam::lla1',shortcut = keys + KEYS$`1`)

rsam::set_shortcut(fn = 'rsam::lla2',shortcut = keys + KEYS$`2`)

rsam::set_shortcut(fn = 'rsam::lla3',shortcut = keys + KEYS$`3`)
