Ctrl + Shift + D doesn't run documentation routines

According to the shortcuts help (Alt+Shift+K) the combination Ctrl+Shift+D should run the documentation routines. (This is also said in Section 5.1 of Hadley Wickhams "R packages" http://runsheng.github.io/attachment/r-packages.pdf.) But in my RStudio-setting, it doublicates the selected row (so I don't belive it is a global usage problem brought up in the answers here: Visual Studio won't recognize key combination). On https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/201819358-Ctrl-Shift-D-doesn-t-run-document-in-preview-release the issue was brought up by someone, but without a solution. How can I make RStudio do what it should do?

I'm using RStudio version 0.99.902 and sessionInfo() gives:

Solution

  • Can you double check what these options are set to in Project Options?

    enter image description here

    You might need to ensure that both

    • Use devtools package functions in available
    • Generate documentation with Roxygen

    are both checked.
