Echo that last question

It's quite confusing to show these in uppercase. The commands all need to be entered in lowercase, unless they are shown with the shift symbol above!

What does D,D mean? Do I just press d then , then d? It doesn't seem to work.

Echoing the question from @daviewales above... not sure how those commands are supposed to work.

You simply double press "D" quickly, at least that works for me ;-)

Thanks!

I woud love a keyboard shortcut for toggling (showing <-> hiding) code

There is a shortcut to go to the end of the line ?
I am asking this because of the autocomplete that the cursor stay behind the ) or ]
Like: i type "print(" and automatic put a ")" after the cursor bur i dont wanna type the arrows...
with the print example i need to type only one arrow, but with a lot it be cool a shortcut
Thanks.

On my Mac ctrl-e goes to the end of the line, ctrl-a goes to the beginning.

How to switch from tab code completion mode to tab indent mode?

On Mac + Safari, uppercase D,D did not delete, but lowercase d,d did.

Is there a keyboard shortcut on MacOS for opening a new notebook on Chrome?

On my Mac ctrl-e goes to the end of the line, ctrl-a goes to the beginning.
Anyone knows how to customize this to crtl + left-array and crtl + right arrow?

This is really strange, normally Macs have CMD-left/right arrow == beginning/end of a line.

Yours are gnu readline emacs bindings Readline Cheat Sheet
I now use lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding to have Vim bindings in jupyter and don't bother about system shortcuts anymore.

I want to assign the combination control and enter to only run current cell instead of running the cell and move to next one, so I'm trying to write in the shortcut editor "Ctrl-Return" but it's taking working, what string should I use? Thnx!

@ahmadko I have no idea, did you try to check the official docs?

yes, i just restarted the server and was able to use "return" keyword, thanx!

Is there something to comment the selected lines in python code?
Also, I found that a ^d deletes a line.
