Devs and internal R users have made recent discoveries and improvements around launching Positron in specific folders and managing multiple workspaces. I'd like to update https://positron.posit.co/rstudio-rproj-file.html (and maybe give it a new title?) with this info.
Ctrl + R to do File: Open recent... . Can use Cmd or Opt to open in new or same window, respectively. Or can set "window.openFoldersInNewWindow": "on". Shared by @hadley.
