1. yes this is possible, although it depends on your IDE. Here is a relevant discussion for eclipse (which also links to the VSCode implementation): https://github.com/eclipse/che/issues/4609. Note: i also didn't know how this worked, so I learned something today too.
2. Yes, absolutely. Feel free to reach out to me directly, or just start contributing directly if you want

RStudio: Integrated development environment (IDE) for R
6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 Mar 2024

This particular issue should be resolved in the latest daily builds of RStudio. The underlying issue here was a conda patch included in the conda-provided builds of R, which interfered with the way RStudio attempted to load R. Please see https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/13184#issuecomment... for more details.
Random error to subset dataframe... no clue why
2 projects | /r/Rlanguage | 15 Jun 2023

It is a bug that was introduced in RStudio 2023.06.0 Build 421. See Error with 'cacheKey' in .rs.WorkingDataEnv and .rs.CachedDataEnv. The current advice is to ignore or add options(rstudio.help.showDataPreview = FALSE) to your ~/.Rprofile ... so RStudio can ignore it for you.

RStudio is painfully slow when connected to my company's VPN
1 project | /r/RStudio | 27 Apr 2023

u/acemachine123, if you’re using Rmarkdown or Rprojects over a network drive, connected by VPN, it’s going to be slow like u/ThatDeadDude said. Best thing you can do is thumbs up the issue here https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/10417 and use an Rscript file instead.

Fonts: cannot select installed font
1 project | /r/RStudio | 4 Mar 2023

Hey! I can not select the Noto Sans Mono font in RStudio's Editor Font options, despite it being installed in my system, as you can see in the picture. RStudio only offers me "Noto Color Emoji" instead. When looking for this online, I only found this: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/9512, but I am not sure if this really a related issue. Or does RStudio not support TrueType fonts? I can't find anything about this after a quick search
