### 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](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=clipr) package, which in turn relies on either "xclip" or "xsel", small utilities that can be installed in just a few seconds. See [here](https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/copy-paste-commands-output-xclip-linux/), for Linux distro-specific instructions.

**On Windows**, no additional software is required.

### Installation

It can be installed via ['addinslist'](https://github.com/daattali/addinslist), or using 'devtools' or 'remotes':

```r

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:

```r

remotes::install_github("dcomtois/pathToClip", ref="0-1-0")

```
