I outline my Obsidian/Quarto workflow here, I think there is a set of plugins that collectively can really ease your life quite a bit.
As I work mostly in R I am thinking of forking the “execute code” plugin, and specifically for R expending it with the following features:
-
after running a chunk, run a brief background command (like ls(), classs() and dim()) and display the environmental variables to the user in a pane. (Ill have to learn a whole lot more about plugin development for this…)
-
Better whitespace handeling, sometimes valid R code is parsed incorrectly I think
-
better figure handling, right now the code executed requires very specific handling of plot commands, which is sub-optimal.
