RStudio Addins to Simplify Markdown Writing

remedy

{remedy} provides addins to facilitate writing in markdown with RStudio.

All the functions are meant to be mapped to keyboard shortcuts. A list of suggested shortcuts is provided towards the end of this README.

Note that most of the addins/shortcuts below will also work without selecting any text.

Install

remotes::install_github("ThinkR-open/remedy")

Once you’ve installed the package, you don’t need to load it with library(), the addins are installed on your machine as part of the package install process.

Managing Shortcuts

Use the {rsam} package to set and manage for you the hotkey settings of {remedy}.

If you want to edit the default settings you can view the defaults remedy_opts$get('hotkeys') and change them through remedy_opts$set(hotkeys=<NEW_SETTINGS>).

hotkeys <- remedy::remedy_opts$get("hotkeys")
rsam::set_shortcut(sprintf('remedy::%sr',names(hotkeys)), hotkeys)
