RStudio addin

[moodymudskipper]

We can select code and pressing hotkeys will display the chart, we can have heuristics decide what to display, but probably a menu with multiple choices is acceptable in some cases:

• if selection, no menu

  • if a symbol is selected
    • if it is { or a control flow construct, show the relevant chart
    • if it is a function, show the chart of the function
  • if it is code , show the chart relevant to this code

• if no selection, we might have several choices :

  • show the chart of the function whose body contains the cursor
  • show the chart of the {} directly containing the cursor
  • show the chart of the function whose symbol contains the cursor

not so useful, putting on hold

I still don't know how to do the "no selection" part with rstudioapi, but I think addin might be useful because :

• no need to attach package, just select function or code
• we can have an addin to detect function CALL, and show the path taken (upcoming flow_run())

[moodymudskipper]

done!

first tries to see if selection is a path, using file.exists, then if it's a symbol, eval and treat as function, else treat as script
