Issue

Currently, there are no ways to execute RStudio Visual Editor commands programmatically via API. E.g., these commands are not present in the list: https://docs.posit.co/ide/server-pro/reference/rstudio_ide_commands.html They are not available via rstudioapi too.

Feature Request

Make Visual Editor commands available via API, e.g., inserting/changing headers: image

Currently, what are the main obstacles to have this implemented?

Hey @GegznaV - thanks for interest!

Can you help us understand what you're ultimately trying to do with the programmatic insertion?

For faster interactive use, there's a few option:

There's Command Palette insert for most/all commands: https://docs.posit.co/ide/user/ide/guide/ui/command-palette.html

For inserting text that is then used by Visual Editor, there's also Snippets so you could insert additional items interactively: https://docs.posit.co/ide/user/ide/guide/productivity/snippets.html

Moving to later for now. Thanks!
