Saving objects inside a list

Hello there,

any ideas on how to save all the objects on my workspace inside a list
object?

For example, say my workspace is as follows
ls()
[1] "x" "y" "z"

and suppose I want to put these objects inside a list object, say

object.list <- list()

without having to explicitly write down their names as in

object.list$x = x
object.list$y = y
object.list$z = z
