R Notebook

R Notebook is a VSCode extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zitiansunsh1ne.r-notebook) for .Rmd, .qmd, and .ipynb workflows with in-line execution, notebook-style outputs, plots, and session-aware tooling for R/Python data science analysis.

Features

• Native .Rmd, .qmd, and .ipynb support with in-line execution and notebook controls
• In-line console output, plot rendering, and ordered multi-output display
• Session controls for selecting, restarting, and interrupting kernels
• Session variable inspection for active notebooks
• Multi-session support so separate notebooks can keep their own runtime state
• Paginated data-frame viewing for larger tabular outputs
• Built to work well alongside AI-assisted editing workflows

AI Editing Support

R Notebook works well with AI-powered editing and review tools, including GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Antigravity. You can keep an .Rmd or .qmd notebook open, ask an AI tool to revise analysis code or documentation, and continue executing chunks with the same in-line notebook experience.
