Pipeline Shortcut Not Working

[Jeff698]

Using Positron Version: 2024.07.0 (Universal) build 41 on macOS.. cmd+shift+m does not insert the pipeline (|>).

Initially upon fresh install, it opened the Problems window. I found the keyboard short cut for this in Setting > Keyboard Shortcuts (it was also set to cmd+shift=m) and deleted it. Now the only thing this is set to is insert pipeline.

Now when I press cmd+shift+m... nothing happens. I've restarted positron but no change.

Any suggestions?

This also happened to me when I first started playing with the first Beta release but I ended up doing the steps in this thread #3523 and it worked!

It seems RStudios keymaps isn’t defaulted when first using Positron

Thanks! I'll take a look there!

@Jeff698 Could you please share what file type you're trying to use the shortcut in?

If it's an r language document in an editor that has focus, that key binding should be active as it is registered by Positron's positron-r extension by default.

However, if you're in an r language cell in a quarto document, you'd need to satisfy the requirements @anbrav0 referred to in pull request #3523, i.e. Quarto installed and the setting RStudio Keymap enabled (or manually setup an equivalent shortcut). Note that recent builds of Positron now include the Quarto extension, but you'll still need to install the Quarto CLI yourself for now.

Thanks! I am indeed using r in a Quatro notebook. I haven't installed the Quarto CLI so that seems like a good explanation.

Off to read #3523...

I'll report back. Appreciat the help, y'all!

[Jeff698]

That did the trick. Cmd+Shift+m now correctly adds a |> pipeline within Quarto .qmd file.

Thanks, y'all!
