Using View() to display values in selected column of a dataframe

Viewer_1.2vs1.4

In an older version of Rstudio (1.2.5019) it was possibly to directly display the values in a selected column of a dataframe using the View() function (left image).

In the newer version of Rstudio (1.4.1718-1) it seems this functionality to directly see the values has been removed (right image).

Is it possible to still obtain the list with values directly?

The left-hand-side functionality can still be achieved by indexing your data frame differently. The below code works, because square bracket indexing returns a data frame whereas $ indexing returns a vector.

View(iris["Sepal.Length"])

Thank you for this suggestion! It's unfortunate that I can't use the autocomplete option anymore by using $, but this might be a better way to subset the data.
