  • The ability to add source columns to the IDE workspace for side-by-side text editing.

  • A new command palette (accessible via Ctrl+Shift+P) that provides easy keyboard access to all RStudio commands, add-ins, and options.

  • Support for rainbow parentheses in the source editor (enabled via Options, then Code, then Display).

  • New citation support that allows you to include document citations from your document bibliography, personal or group libraries, and several other sources.
