Is there a shortcut to wrap text as a code chunk in a RMarkdown file in RStudio?

Question

Any shortcut to transform text as a code block by selecting the text and pressing keys ?

Answer 1

I have created a package {chunkthis} which provides a Rstudio Addins Chunk the code to do this.

At first, install the package from GitHub using install_github which is a function from {remotes} package.

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("shafayetShafee/chunkthis")

Doing this will add the addin in Rstudio. Then, simply copy something then use that addin to paste wrapped in a R code-chunk fence. Or even you can add a keyboard shortcut for that addin.

To add a shortcut for Rstudio Addin, navigate to Tools -> Addins -> Browse Addins -> keyboard Shortcuts... and then add a key board shortcut for that addin.

Hope this helps.
