I looked at Fira Code and I wanted to try it out with one of the listed supported editors. So I launched RStudio (Version 0.99.491 on a Win box) and set the font to Fira Code but ... nothing. So how to enable font ligatures in RStudio?
EDIT: The trick in the accepted answer below still works for RStudio Version 1.0.44. I still wish there's a simple button to enable it.

To enable font ligatures in Visual Studio Code you will need to edit the settings. json file. To do this open the VS Code settings (File -> Preferences -> Settings) select the Text Editor group and Font settings. Replace the name of the font with the font you would like to use.
A ligature is a glyph that combines the shapes of certain sequences of characters into a new form that makes for a more harmonious reading experience.
I still wish there's a simple button to enable it.
Wish granted! We've just added this to RStudio 1.1.
