Does the copy code to clipboard option exist in R markdown

Question

does the button to copy to cliboard exist with R markdown?

It exists in Quarto (with the code-copy option)

and with pkgdown websites but is it possible to add it to a R markdown or R notebook document?

Answer 1

You could use the package klippy to insert a copy to clipboard button in Rmarkdown HTML documents. To only thing you need to do is add this code somewhere in your document:

```{r klippy, echo=FALSE, include=TRUE}
klippy::klippy()
```

To install the package, you can use the following code:

remotes::install_github("rlesur/klippy")
library(klippy)

Here is a reproducible example:

---
title: "Copy code to clipboard"
date: "2022-10-31"
output: html_document
---

```{r klippy, echo=FALSE, include=TRUE}
klippy::klippy()
```

Some example code:

```{r}
# Summary of mtcars dataset:
summary(mtcars)
```

Output:

As you can see a copy to clipboard button in the top left of the code chunk.
