Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to achieve the same thing in VS Code. RStudio helps with this by showing a pop-up hint that just includes argument names. Most of the time, what I really want to know when I’m using an R function in code is what the names of the function arguments are. I haven’t found a way to trigger these previews with a keyboard shortcut, but maybe it’s possible. If you still want to see the preview, hover the mouse cursor over the function name in your code. You can turn these previews off entirely with the following setting in VS Code. These previews contain quite a lot of information and I found them to be quite distracting. When you type an R function name and an opening bracket in VS Code, it shows a pop-up with a preview of the documentation for that function. You can also manually trigger reformatting with a keyboard shortcut (option-shift-F on Mac). I prefer for this to happen when I paste something or when I save a file. VS Code has settings to control when reformatting occurs. Turn off code reformatting while you typeīy default, VS Code reformats your code as you type, and I found this to be distracting. See the styler package for more information. Or if you have a lot of free time, you can create your own code styling function that formats your code however you like. Rprofile file: options(languageserver.formatting_style = function(options) This can be done by putting the following code in your. To dial things back a bit but still retain most of the useful reformatting, you can tell the code formatter to not operate in ‘strict’ mode. It will remove that blank line between the two commented blocks, which I find makes this code harder to read. For example it will not allow you to write code like this: y case_when( By default, this uses the Tidyverse Style Guide rules to format your code and applies these quite strictly. The R extension for VS Code uses the languageserver package to help format your code. In case it helps anyone else, here are four tweaks I’ve made to VS Code to reduce some of my annoyances and make some things similar to what I’m used to from RStudio. This is not always straightforward as VS Code has a zillion settings and R in VS Code relies on an extension and some R packages to work, which have their own configuration options. I’ve started using R in VS Code instead of RStudio and one thing I’ve discovered is that to be a happy VS Code user you have to pay close attention to the things that annoy you and try to fix them.
