Shortcut to jump to a chunk in R Markdown?

Question

Is there a shortcut to jump to a chunk in a R Markdown (on a Mac)? I'm looking for a way to quickly go between one chunk to another.

I'm not completely sure this is possible on Mac, but in RStudio for Windows you can select to show the «document outline» in the IDE. Not really a shortcut perhaps, but it can easily be used to jump to different named chunks in the R Markdown document by clicking it.

By default, I believe the outline is set to only show «Sections» (i.e. ## Header here), so to enable it to show named chunks, go to Tools -> Global options -> R Markdown -> Show in document outline. Then set it to «Sections and Named Chunks»

fn + Command + Up/Down works on the latest RStudio. It also jumps to heading sections.

This preference option exists on the Mac desktop RStudio as well.

Thesedays, there's a popup at the bottom of the source pane that gives an outline view and allows you to select chunks/sections.
