Is the backtick key, `, [missing from your keyboard](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Italian_Keyboard_layout.svg)? Has it been [mapped for use by other software](https://twitter.com/ShinyBlackShoe/status/1494987656924737537?s=20&t=QlPfudvICLEaFcyTSoE9QQ)? Scratch your backtick itch with {backtick}.

{backtick} is a very tiny R package containing functions that insert backticks into R scripts and R Markdown documents. It's intended for use as an RStudio Addin.

Install with:

```r

install.packages("remotes")  # if not yet installed

remotes::install_github("matt-dray/backtick")

```

On restart, the functions will be available to you from the RStudio Addins menu. You could also set them to keyboard shortcuts.

With these functions you can:

* insert a single backtick (`)

* surround selected text with backticks (selection becomes \`selection\`)

* surround selected text with backticks for execution as inline R code in an R Markdown document (selection becomes \`r selection\`)

* surround selected text with backticks for execution as an R code chunk in an R Markdown document (selection is surrounded by \`\`\`{r} above and \`\`\` below)
