PyCharm: New Features and Enhancements in the R Plugin 2020.3

With the holiday season coming, the R plugin introduces more code assistance and runtime capabilities, UX features, and stability improvements. Try them with the brand new 2020.3 releases of JetBrains IDEs.

1. Use run/debug configurations to manage the way the IDE executes your R code.
   
   You can define the command-line arguments of the R script to be executed, the options of the R interpreter, or environmental variables. Configure once and run your script with the same predefined parameters.
2. With the modified R interpreter selector, you can switch between various interpreters and quickly create new ones.
   
3. Code assistance in the R plugin has become even more intelligent. We implemented code completion for
   • S4 objects
     
   • Shiny applications
     
   • DataFrames
     
4. Try the new way of package documentation preview. You can hover over any function, and the documentation popup appears.
   
5. More UX improvements and fixes:
   • Better Data Viewer UI
   • Enhanced code debugger
   • Stability improvements for RMarkdown
