Feature Request: Implement Output Insertion as Comments for Evaluated R Code

ℹ️ Unfortunately, VSCode Notebook API support was never implemented because the R kernel depends on zmq.

This is off-topic, but there are other kernels for R besides IRkernel.

IMHO That is what R Notebooks were (are?) meant for.

There is the Jupyter extension. Jupyter Notebooks paste output below the R code cells.

The Quarto extensions shows output side by side in a Jupyter interactive console.

thanks @benz0li @eitsupi

The point of running the code and getting output into the Rscript, is really Rscript/text based/focused data analysis cycle, it's a lot of faster than jupyter, and oftenly are done in an terminal environment. I have been using juyter and Rmarkdown, but it's more for situations where we need to present the data; for explorative data analysis, a plain Rscript is usually leaner and getting the job done faster.

ideas/suggestions on sending codes to R and wrap the output back into the editor (or even getting the output to the clipboard is helpful)
