Description
I'm splitting this out of #1818, because it's a separate piece of work.
What we're talking about here is that in RStudio, if you attach dplyr, then trigger completions via ?
, those completions include help topics (i.e. topics that aren't also exported functions).
Positron does not offer these perfectly valid completions.
Here's RStudio helping me read the help for dplyr-package
and dplyr-locale
:
Screen.Recording.2025-01-29.at.1.34.07.PM.mov
Positron gives the impression that it doesn't even know about these help topics with its completions (you also see double entries here 😬 which is tracked in #5708):
positron-help-topic-completion-trouble.mov
Just so I don't trap everything in videos, the examples above involve:
library(dplyr)
?dpl<COMPLETIONS OFFERED HERE>
# imagine you want to read the help for dplyr-package or dplyr-locale
We want the completions to help us get to topics like ?`dplyr-package`
. This means that (1) dplyr-package
and the like should appear in the list of completions and (2) Positron should also be smart enough to finesse the issue of backticks.
