Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Path To Clipboard (RStudio Addin)
This pathToClip addin allows you to store the active document's path to the clipboard.
While many editors have this feature built-in, RStudio doesn't (at least not yet).
On OS X and Linux, it uses the clipr package, which in turn relies on either "xclip" or "xsel", small utilities that can be installed in just a few seconds. See here, for Linux distro-specific instructions.
On Windows, no additional software is required.
Installation
It can be installed via 'addinslist', or using 'devtools' or 'remotes':
remotes::install_github("dcomtois/pathToClip")Shortcut suggestion
As with any other addin, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
I like to use < Ctrl + Alt + C >, since it's easy to remember and it's not pre-assigned (see animated demo if needed).
Simplified version
If you don't like having 3 entries in your Addins menu and need only the platform-specific path separator, install version 0.1.0:
remotes::install_github("dcomtois/pathToClip", ref="0-1-0")Demo
