The '=' sign can be used in place of '<-'. That's the only

That's not a shorthand. `=` and `<-` are semantically different in R.
Alexy was asking presumably about shorthands that you press/type in
the R Mac GUI which will result in `<-` being produced and those are
<Alt><-> (this comes from Emacs' "_" shortcut which you type on US
keyboard as <Shift><-> but given that the character _ is often used
these days, we created a variant where you use <Alt> instead of
<Shift>) and <Ctrl><=> (this one is simply a play on the equal sign
and should make sense on other keyboards, too). The last shorthand I
mentioned (<Alt>+<=>) is a direct translation of the ≠ sign (which
you get in other programs when pressing <Alt><=>) into R code.
Cheers,
Simon
