Synopsis

Allows configuration of RStudio to insert the dplyr pipe (%>%) at the current cursor position

Motivation

The %>% pipe form the dplyr package is a very useful tool to create human-readable and reproducible code. Configuring it to a keyboard shortcut saves me significant time during coding. I'm uploading it to GitHub in case anybody else finds it useful.

Installation

Download the package and install with

install.packages("DOWNLOAD_FOLDER/insertPipe", repos = NULL, type="source")

or alternatively directly

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("ASBecker/insertPipe")

then map it to a shortcut in RStudio.
