R package irrsa: RStudio Addins to insert or replace text

The irrsa (Insert or Replace RStudio Addin) package currently provides two RStudio addins:

• An addin which inserts = at the cursor position. This is convenient if you prefer to use = instead of <- as an assignment operator.
• An addin which replaces \ with /. This is convenient if you copy and paste Windows paths (which contain \) into R scripts (which require / in file paths).

The addins can be bound to keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Alt+- to replace the RStudio shortcut for <- with =).

Installation

if (!require("devtools")) { install.packages("devtools") }
devtools::install_github("pasturm/irrsa")

How to assign a keyboard shortcut in RStudio to the addin

• Select Tools -> Addins -> Browse Addins... -> Keyboard Shortcuts...
• Add the shortcut (e.g. Alt+- for Insert = and Alt+/ for Replace \ with /).
