Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing how executable code-cell languages are registered for Run Cell and compare the existing R path with the Rcpp example in the issue. Validate completion with the supplied Quarto document: the Rcpp cell should offer Run Cell, compile successfully, and let the following R cell return 42.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

knitr-support vscode

Please consider adding registration to compile code cells marked with Rcpp. Right now, the only way to run them would be to render the entire document.
