I have seen in some notebooks that functions called with ResourceFunction["PairwiseScatterPlot"] appear with a red set of square brackets enclosing a red filled square. It would be great to know the shortcut instead of having to type out ResourceFunction every time. Any help is appreciated. enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ I don't think there is one. This is a display form, not a form one types in manually. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Perhaps ResourceFunctionInput over at the function repository will do what you are asking: resources.wolframcloud.com/FunctionRepository/resources/… $\endgroup$

ResourceFunctionInput (over at the Wolfram Function Repository) achieves this goal.

As described in its documentation:

ResourceFunction["ResourceFunctionInput"]["InstallAlias"]

permanently adds an interactive input for ResourceFunction symbols as input alias esc-rfi-esc that allows for inline creation of ResourceFunction symbols. There are also other options for adding menu bar items and other ways to use this functionality.

  • $\begingroup$ Not sure why but on my machine (Ubuntu 18.08 with MMA 12.0) this fails with the message System`PacletUninstall::shdw: Symbol PacletUninstall appears in multiple contexts {System`, PacletManager`}; definitions in context System` may shadow or be shadowed by other definitions. Anyone having the same experience? $\endgroup$
