You can easily switch between magrittr pipe `%>%` and base pipe `|>` in the RStudio settings 🧰 #rstats #dataviz #phd

You should switch to Positron! (and here's how to do it there)

You are probably also using Positron for development, right? I tried this once, but lost so many short cuts and familiar buttons on the way, that I went back to RStudio 🙃

I think there's an option to activate RStudio shortcuts, but since I was already using VSCode instead of RStudio before Positron came out, I completely setup my own shortcuts (or modified shortcuts so they matched with those from RStudio, partly).

One of the few things you have to get used to is debugging. You cannot use breakpoints (yet) and must use browser(), but you get used to it fast. I have now uninstalled RStudio because I haven't started it for months...

We just added breakpoints in 2026.02! > #RStats now has first-class support for breakpoints in Positron. Set breakpoints in the editor gutter and step through your code interactively. In scripts, breakpoints are enabled after evaluation or sourcing. positron.posit.co/download.html

Hm, doesn't work for me. I'm using the latest daily build: Positron Version: 2026.03.0 (system setup) build 14 Code - OSS Version: 1.106.0 Date: 2026-02-03T08:15:39.951Z Electron: 37.7.0 Chromium: 138.0.7204.251 Node.js: 22.20.0 V8: 13.8.258.32-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200

Sorry about that! Could you open a GH issue or discussion so we can look it over? github.com/posit-dev/po...
