Github Copilot integration with RStudio, it's finally here!
summary
Native GitHub Copilot integration with RStudio is now available, closing issue #10148 (the most upvoted request), and it surfaces ghost text autocompletion that can return multi-line functions via the Copilot API while honoring file/project scope; a demo shows a generated mode() function that runs and a months-long Keyword solver built by iterative prompting that ends on the word "recipes." The talk contrasts this with a {chattr} chat-style interface, notes a required Copilot subscription, and marks the feature as preview in the upcoming release.
