bookmarkr

bookmarkR

This is a simple RStudio add-in that allows you to add markers (bookmarks) to your R code. You can view your list of bookmarks and jump to them quickly.

Installing

Currently this package exists only on Github. You can install it as follows at the R console:

> devtools::install_github("jmcphers/bookmarkr")

Adding Bookmarks

After installation, you'll get a new "Add Bookmark" menu item in your Add-Ins menu.

Click this to add a note at your current cursor position. Your collection of notes will be displayed in the Markers pane in RStudio.

Keyboard shortcut

The add-in does not ship with a keyboard shortcut, but you can assign one so that it's easy to drop notes into your code quickly, without using the mouse. Here's how:

1. Click the Tools menu, then Modify Keyboard Shortcuts
2. In the list, look for "Add Bookmark"
3. Click the Shortcut column in the "Add Bookmark" row
4. Press your desired shortcut key (note that you can use a key sequence, too!)

Known issues

• Bookmark line numbers can be incorrect after adding a new bookmark; adding a bookmark requires us to re-play all of the previous bookmarks, but the lines to which they refer may have moved
• Bookmarks are user scoped (should probably be project scoped?)
• Currently no way to delete a bookmark
