add a short cut for" <-"

[PPSHOU]

Just like in the R studio, I hope we could use the short cut: alt+"-" for "<-", as a lot of people use quarto for R language and it is convenient for them to input the "<-" by a short cut, hope you could add it to the extension. and add a shortcut for creating an R code chunk, that would be so very helpful.

If you use Positron this keyboard shortcut (plus one for the pipe) is available when editing .qmd files with R code.

If you are using VS Code, you can set up a custom keyboard shortcut yourself in a similar way that Positron does:

{
  "key": "alt+-",
  "command": "type",
  "args": { "text": "<-" },
  "when": "quarto.document.languageId == r"
}
