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

@meetrainier no idea, I normally use ⌘ /

Uhm not working here, but I'm using lambdalisue/jupyter-vim-binding: Jupyter meets Vim. Vimmer will fall in love..

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!

have you tried "Ctrl-Enter"
