R send function to console - TextMate

5 Mar 2014

Let's say I have R open and i¹m editing a .R filewith TextMate. In my .R
file I have a line of code like this:

lm(mpg ~ drat, mtcars)

Is it possible to set up a keyboard shortcut, which when pressed whilst an R
object was selected, would send that object to the R console inside a
function.

For example:
I select 'mpg', press COMMAND + OPTION + L, and this object would be run in
the R console as: length(mpg)

I select mtcars', press COMMAND + OPTION + S, and this object would be run
in the R console as: summary(mtcars)

I select 'lm(mpg ~ drat, mtcars)', press COMMAND + OPTION + P, and this
object would be run in the R console as: plot(lm(mpg ~ drat, mtcars))

Thanks
