2  RStudio tips

2.1 Cheatsheet

Rstudio is a sophisticated tool, but learning to perform common tasks is easy. This cheatsheet is a good place to start learning. There is also a PDF version.

2.2 RStudio Shortcuts

RStudio has many keyboard shortcuts, and learning them can be overwhelming at first, but please remember that you can always type Alt+Shift+K (in Windows/Linux) or option+Shift+K to show a hud with all keyboard shortcuts.

The following ones are absolute essentials and should be the first ones to learn:

Keyboard shortcut	Action
Alt+_Alt+_	inserts <-
Shift-ctrl-AShift-ctrl-A or Shift-Command-AShift-Command-A	reformat code
Ctrl-↑Ctrl-↑ or command-↑command-↑	history
tabtab	auto-complete
Shift-ctrl-PShift-ctrl-P or Shift-Command-PShift-Command-P	show command palette

You can also configure the Keyboard shortcuts.
