<p>An R user asked a question regarding whether it’s possible to have the RStudio pipe (<code>%>%</code>) shortcut (<code>Cmd-Shift-M</code>) available in other macOS applications. If you’re using <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.alfredapp.com/">Alfred</a> then you can use <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://rud.is/dl/%25%3E%25%20Everywhere.alfredworkflow">this workflow</a> for said task (IIRC this requires an Alfred license which is reasonably cheap).</p>
<p>When you add it to Alfred you <em>must</em> edit it to make <code>Cmd-Shift-M</code> the hotkey since Alfred strips the keys on import (for good reasons). I limited the workflow to a few apps (Safari, Chrome, Sublime Text, iTerm) and I think it makes sense to limit the apps it applies to (you don’t need the operator everywhere, at least IMO).</p>
<p>I can’t believe I didn’t do this earlier. I use R in the terminal a bit and mis-hit <code>Cmd-Shift-M</code> all the time when I do (since RStudio is my primary editor for R code and muscle memory is scarily powerful). I also have to use (ugh) Jupyter notebooks on occasion and this will help there, too. If you end up modifying or using the workflow, drop a note in the comments.</p>
