Combining addins and code-snippets: howto insert a proper snippet from an addin

RStudio IDE

Code snippets are great because they allow to navigate through the snippet by the TAB key. Addins are great because they are extremely versatile. Unfortunately, I did not figure out how combine them and insert a text from an addin into the current source code window that allows me to navigate through it as if it were a snippet.

I guess, what I am looking for is rstudioapi::insertSnippet(), which however does not exist.

Did anybody try to perform something similar?

You're right that this currently doesn't exist -- you might want to file a feature request at https://github.com/rstudio/rstudioapi/issues.
