This is absolutely Superb. Thank you for working us through some of the great feature of this awesome IDE. I hope it works well with Quartto.

It works great with Quarto! There’s a bit of setup required prior to creating a Quarto document. See: m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqdqt9B6os6tZMY.html

Yes i am loving it so far, seemless experience with R and Python, i never liked working with Python in R studio, that was a mess for me tbh, Positron is a breeze. Quarto works fine too. So far i haven't encountered any issues, except that i am not able to move the panes around.😅😂

Mmm, what happens when you try to drag and drop different parts of the interface? Also, what happens when you click on the layout button in the upper right corner of Positron?

@@thecoatlessprofessor7674 i uninstalled and reinstalled on my newer machine, works fine, on the old one changing layout wasn't doing anything. Like i still would end up having the same layout. Now it is just the way i like it.🤝🏻

Thanks. This was helpful. One thing I was absolutely missing is that, on Windows, ctrl-enter runs the line and sends the output to the console. Still a lot I don't understand about the functionality, but at least at this point I can _use_ it.

Could you clarify a bit on the functionality remark? Is there a particular use case you are after or are you trying to understand where the editor would fall in your workflow?

@@thecoatlessprofessor7674 Well, one thing I wonder about is running a chunk of code --- and getting the output in the console, or the plot displayed --- like you can do by highlighting a chunk and pressing the run button in RStudio. I guess for people who use this kind of IDE, that's not desirable ? Better to ctrl-enter ? ... And then basically everything with the debugger. I can't make heads or tails of how to use it.

So, I think there's a lot of questions surrounding an analysis using Quarto instead of just an R script? Does that sound about right? In that case, I would say you still have the ability to run code cells by using Cmd/Ctrl+Enter for a single line, Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Enter or the "Run Cell" button for the entire cell. If you want to create in the R script file a similar "cell" appearance, you need to use `#+` instead of the python version of `# %%`. It's really good to develop keyboard muscle memory instead of using a point-and-click mouse as that takes additional time to complete a task, e.g. pressing a run button. Regarding the debugger, have you check out this video? kzread.info/dash/bejne/opNovLVmntG3YrQ.html

@@thecoatlessprofessor7674 Thanks. For my comments, no, nothing about Quarto. Just running a script. I still can't figure out how to run a chunk of the script. But more fundamentally, why this isn't a simple press of a button. Like, obviously, that's not how people use this software. Or they set cells or breakpoints or something if they want to do that. I just haven't quite figured the mentality of using this software. (I'm not familiar with VSCode, just RStudio and Spyder). ... I do think a few issues come down to things being in beta. Your debugging video was helpful. But, for example, trying to use Run and Debug; it tells me I don't have an R debugger; and then when I try to install from the options, it tells me it's not compatible with Positron. I take it this is just a beta issue, or I just have no idea what I'm doing. ... It's no biggy. None of this I need to figure out right away. Just trying to see if this kind of software will improve what I do, or if I'm just a RStudio and Spyder person.

This should be good in the future, especially for R. But they need to enable remote ssh / dev containers! On their list, but not yet there.

Yup, it's early days for the new IDE. If you already leaped to VS Code for more advanced features, this IDE is probably missing some features of your current workflow.

Great video!! Is it possible to load GitHub Copilot in Positron?

@thecoatlessprofessor7674

7 күн бұрын

It’s not possible to use a GitHub copilot extension due to MS licensing issues in Positron. If you have a Copilot subscription, the only way forward is to use {chattr} R package. Otherwise, you will need to stay in VS code or switch to an LLM that has an extension on OpenVSX.

Great; please can you share the link for me to download positron ?

There is no option yet in the Positron IDE for zooming on plots. You can only focus different windows. They are tracking it as a feature in: github.com/posit-dev/positron/issues/2270

Prove me wrong but this is just vscode 😅

The Positron IDE is a _fork_ of the open source Visual Studio Code (OSS - Code). So, it should feel a lot like VS Code in certain areas. One huge benefit to this approach: Access to VS Code extensions published onto OpenVSX.

With much better IDE experience for data workflows! VScode data analysis experience is a mess with chaotic interpreter manager, subpar dataframe viewer via 3rd party plug-ins and a missing variable viewer pane

Actually VS Code can be set in a very similar manner for Python with the Data Wrangler Extension for data frame viewing (it is official Microsoft Extension) and a variable pane is present when running code through an interactive jupyter window (it can be set in the settings when running a line of code to be automatically send to a jupyter window). However, in Positron it is great that all this functionality is available out of the box and also for R because in VS Code I never found a suitable R extension to work with.

@thecoatlessprofessor7674

I agree it's really nice that a lot of the functionality is just _there_ without needing to setup the editor. Psst, the variable panel is still present in the panel bar when using a Jupyter notebook ;) Though, none of the variables will appear nor will the debugger/breakpoints work correctly in notebook view (so a slight downgrade from the current status quo in VS Code for Python).
