Layout
I prefer the "3 column layout":
This gives you enough space in the terminal to also see output with longer lines without line breaks:
You can easily hide the terminal via shortcut (Ctrl + J) when you have other panes open, like plots. This allows to quickly switch between "terminal" and "plot" view:

@strengejacke Is there a way to get VS Code to show the HTML help instead of the plain text help?
I think it's already HTML, but not everything is correctly rendered (limitation: equations?).
Yeah, that’s what I’m realizing. VS Code has built-in katex support, so I think this is an REditorSupport issue
(REditorSupport has since fixed this)
Hi @strengejacke , where are we supposed to put the "r.json" file ?
Thanks for your work, I just set up my VScode using your examples :)
Not sure, I think you can try this, and the file will be saved there automatically
Else, the file path is:
Could you perhaps add some details on how to modify the .linter file? For example, I would like to ignore trailing whitespace and empty lines (at least as long as the cursor is on them) and set the maximum line width to infinity.
Do the linter settings work only for a specific language or for all of them?
Also, do you have any clue where the file would need to go on MacOS? I find it very hard to find information on that. Thanks!
@turbanisch the .lintr file has also been a bit of a nightmare for me to figure out, though it isn't too bad once you know where to put it.
You can have .lintr's multiple places and it evaluates in a hierarchy. For example, on my Windows machine, I could place a global .lintr in C:/Users/your_username/Documents/.lintr and also a .lintr in my project directory (running lintr::use_lintr() in the R console will place one in your current directory also).
The lintr package is set up to search your current directory first, then iteratively move up until it gets to the default linters it has (I don't know where to find this). So in the above example, since I have one in my current directory, it would stop there. But, if I didn't have one it would eventually find the one in my documents folder.
Once you have that figured out, then customizing is pretty easy. See the "Customizing Active Linters" section at (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/lintr/vignettes/lintr.html). Essentially, if there's something you want to turn off, you just say that_linter = NULL. For example, this is the one I'm using atm:
linters: linters_with_defaults(
line_length_linter(120),
commented_code_linter = NULL,
object_usage_linter = NULL,
trailing_blank_lines_linter = NULL,
trailing_whitespace_linter = NULL
)
encoding: "UTF-8"
You can see I changed the line length to 120. I don't know if it would accept infinity but you could probably put something ungodly like 1000 there.
The .lintr file only applies to the R language but I assume other languages have linter customization through vs code (and probably much easier customization at that).
As for where to put your global .lintr, if desired, I think it should be something like $HOME/.lintr on Unix.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for this detailed gist. It is quite helpful.
I would like to use VS code IDE for R development. My work revolves around, shiny, API's, developing workflow pipelines ( Nextflow, snakemake, WDL), connecting to remote DB's, and submitting jobs to remote servers. Any specific extensions you would recommend to make the development process a bit easier in VS code ?
The most used features for me on Rstudio are, "
publish button for shiny apps, Knitr, markdown preview or quarto preview feature, 'cmd+enter' to run each line of code.
Is there a way we can set-up some of these features to work in VS code ? I work on Mac OS, what aspects of the .json settings need to be changed specifically to Mac ? Do you have similar setup guidelines for IOS?
PS: I guess the publish button in Rstudio may be out-of-scope , and wish Rstudio would make it available. The tedious task with shiny apps is to host them ( if not using Rstudio products). Is there any simpler way to host shiny apps from VS code ?
does the vscode has data viewer like in Rstudio?
I mean in rstudio, i can open a data frame and search within it ? does vs code has this capability? Thanks.
knitr, preview of markdown/quarto files and Ctrl+enter are available in vscode. Not sure about shiny apps though, since I don't use it.
A data viewer is available, but probably less sophisticated. Click on the magnifier next to the data frame in the workbench, where you see all objects in your environment
There's a ShinyUiEditor-Extension, that might be able to do this.
@aminuldu07 @strengejacke The data viewer in VS Code can also be accessed with View(). I.E.,
View(mtcars)
# or
mtcars |> View()
FAQ
How do I update packages?
In the R panel, under Help pages, look for Install CRAN packages and find the update button:
Alternatively, you could install the vsCodeSnipptes package from GitHub and add a shortcut to the
update_R_packages()function (see keybindings.json above)RStudio or VS Code?
IMHO, both are good IDEs. It doesn't really matter much which one you take. From my point of view, for both "R users" and "R developers", it makes no big difference which IDE you use, and I could recommend both for either use case. Only: whenever you switch from one tool to the other, take some time (1-2 weeks) to change your most common habits, and after another few weeks you're probably comfortable with either tool.
It probably boils down to: are you more a keyboard person (VS Code) or mouse person (RStudio)?

Do you miss something in VS Code you had in RStudio?
autocomplete.mov
Any downsides you found so far?
Ctrl+Shift+I, mostly for developers) does much more than the equivalent command in RStudio, so it takes longer to install a local package. I have been too lazy yet to change that shortcut.cliorrlangdon't work, since the session watcher seems to use them. Haven't found a good way how to resolve this issue, beside starting good old R and updating those two packages there.
