VScode inserts a bracket ")" when pressing Ctrl+Enter in the editor

Question

Sometimes, when pressing Ctrl+Enter in VScode (Windows) to run a line of R code in the editor, it sends the code in the R terminal window and inserts a ")" at the end of the code and doesn't execute it. I installed VScode as per the online instructions. Most of the time I don't get that issue but sometimes I do (I beleive mostly when running a function with curly brackets {} ).

I inserted a screenshot for reference.

Answer 1

I looked through the github issues for vscode-R. This is a Windows specific issue. There's a thread on this and the solution is not obvious/does not exist yet: https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/issues/820

Answer 2

I use WINDOWS. This solution seems to work:

Create a file called .radian_profile in the working directory. You can check your working directory by running getwd() in radian when it starts up.

In the .radian_profile file you created, paste this line:

options(radian.auto_match = FALSE)
