- 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
