Edited snippets of the Rstudio editor

Does Rstudio have a mechanism for setting up code snippets, like Geany? For faster writing of entire sections of user predefined frequent code. This is not exactly the same as the TAB termination already built into rstudio.

An example by imitating geany fragments

While the fragment definition is similar to the line below:

fun = %cursor% <- function(x, ...)\s{\n\n}\n

it is something like this:

 fun<TAB> (like bash style completion) # will end up in following insertion: <- function(x, ...) { }

so that the user can write code faster using their own definition of fragments. And the user can define any fragment of any size to complete using TAB.

This is not Rstudio extract cmd, nieder Rstudio is an existing TAB context browser.

I do not know such functionality. However, if you want to quickly implement functionality with a few changes, you can also achieve this with functions.

OK, now I understand my question. As far as I know, Rstudio does not currently have this functionality. However, you can send a request to your forum for this feature. They react quite actively to these requests, so you can try.

The function "Extract Function" in RStudio may be what you are looking for. Scroll down to the “Extract Function” section and the accompanying screenshot on this rstudio.com documentation page: http://www.rstudio.com/ide/docs/using/source

The text of the section reads: "RStudio can analyze the selection of code from the source editor and automatically convert it to a reuse function. Any" free "variables within the selection (objects that are referenced but not created within the selection) are converted to function arguments."
