r - %>% key binding / keyboard shortcut in Rstudio

Question

I've been experimenting quite a bit with the increasingly popular %>% operator from the magrittr package.

I've used it enough that I've set a keyboard shortcut to save me typing:

shift+command+. instead of space, shift+5, shift+., shift+5, space.

This is great in SublimeTetxt2 but Rstudio does not allow services it does not work if I'm working within Rstudio projects.

So my question is:

Can you define text-inserting key-bindings or shortcuts within Rstudio?

This would be exactly synonymous with the alt+- binding for the assignment <- operator that is oxygen to the otter.

If someone could point me to where the shortcuts are coded in the github repo so I could "hack" my own, I suppose this would be a useful start.

Just noticed that RStudio v0.98.1079 has shift+command+M mapped for the %>% operator. You can check out the other keyboard shortcuts within RStudio by clicking at the Help tab or by entering alt+shift+K.
