Set this option to make Ctrl + Shift + M (Cmd + Shift + M on Mac) insert R 4.1's new pipe operator, |>.
(Bonus tip: If you use a ligature font, the new pipe renders like a cool triangle! ▷)

And yes, I'm loving the base R pipe.

#rstats friends: what are your favorite “lesser known” tips & tricks for using R Markdown? e.g. any feature(s) (big or small) you’ve picked up at some point along your #rmarkdown journey that you now use on a regular basis and wish you knew earlier?

Want to open that file location you have in a text string in ? This just made its way into my .Rprofile (which I opened with the same)
.open <- function(file) {
rstudioapi::navigateToFile(file)
}
Too often I've built a file.path() and wanted to then open it.

Our add-in of the day is Esquisse: github.com/dreamRs/esquis. It's kind of a mash-up of an interactive data explorer and ggplot2 builder: quickly slice your data into beautiful plots *and* create reproducible code for them at the same time.

I want to learn more keyboard commands to reduce my mouse use, especially when coding in RStudio. I already love ctrl-A and ctrl-E for jumping to the start and end of a line. What are others can't you live without? (both generic terminal and RStudio-specific welcome)
