Insert-mode backslash commands conflict with roxygen

[chiphogg]

I'm developing an R package using devtools and roxygen. This lets me auto-generate my .Rd files from specially formatted comments in the source .R files.

The problem is that certain backslash-letter combinations get interpreted as commands, when all I want to do is enter text. For example, \dquote activates \d, \link activates \l, etc. This is extremely frustrating: instead of
\dQuote{text}
I have to write
dQuote<esc>bi\<esc>ea{text}

Can the backslash commands be disabled for insert-mode? Or if this disrupts other people's workflow: can it at least be made optional?

Thanks :)

That's a good idea. I can create an option to avoid mappings in Insert
mode. For specific conflicts, you can change the corresponding key
bindings. Please, see :h r-plugin-key-bindings

See also :h r-plugin-localleader

And read about the difference between Leader and LocalLeader.

You're welcome :) It was actually my first time writing vimscript!
