This function changes RStudio settings in order to make learning easier for
new users. These settings are stored in:
~/.config/rstudio/rstudio-prefs.json. The most important changes are
save_workspace to "never", load_workspace to FALSE, and
"insert_native_pipe_operator" to TRUE. All those changes are good for any
user, new or old.
We also change rmd_viewer_type to "pane", show_hidden_files to TRUE,
rmd_chunk_output_inline to FALSE, source_with_echo to TRUE, and
packages_pane_enabled to FALSE. These settings make RStudio less
confusing to new users. The rmd_viewer_type setting is especially useful to
students copy/pasting from the Console/Terminal to a tutorial.
The last two changes are setting both rainbow_parentheses and
syntax_color_console to TRUE. We think that these settings make coding
errors less likely.
