# RStudio Desktop launches from a binary named rstudio on Linux and from

# RStudio.app on a Mac, whose bundle identifier — com.rstudio.desktop — is the

# one the Homebrew cask quits

# (https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/rstudio.json). The binary is what a user

# types, so that is what `detect` carries.

# RStudio Desktop Administration Guide, Settings → Overview

# (https://docs.posit.co/ide/desktop-pro/settings/settings.html): "All of the

# settings file locations described in this section conform to the XDG Base

# Directory Specification", with the user scope listed as %APPDATA%\RStudio on

# Windows and ~/.config/rstudio on Unix, both keyed off XDG_CONFIG_HOME (or

# RSTUDIO_CONFIG_HOME, which takes precedence). The same page adds: "Here, and

# in the rest of this section, 'Unix' refers to both Linux and macOS."

# XDG_CONFIG_HOME with ~/.config as the fallback, and %APPDATA% on Windows, is

# exactly what [configHome] resolves to; the directory differs only in case

# between the two, and both of those filesystems are case-insensitive.

# The Preferences page names the file: "User preferences set in the RStudio

# IDE's Global Options dialog can also be set in the JSON file

# rstudio-prefs.json, located in the settings directory described above." The

# keybindings, snippets and editor themes a user adds sit beside it in the same

# directory.

# ~/.rstudio-desktop, the one location the Homebrew cask zaps, is the older

# session-state directory rather than settings, so it is not listed.

# The editor theme, font, pane layout and keybindings in the same file are

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/rstudio. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these is generated from the same rules as this page. None of them splits initial_working_directory and default_project_location for you — that part is Otty’s own sync, or a template you write by hand.
