Keyboard Shortcuts

Here is a list of some of the most handy keyboard shortcuts for our Jupyter Notebooks. There are two modes when editing a notebook, each with a different set of shortcuts:

• Edit Mode: When you are editing the contents of a cell and can see a blinking cursor.

• Command Mode: When you are not editing a cell and do not see a blinking cursor.

Don’t type the + (it means press both keys at once), and if you are on a PC, substitute Ctrl for ⌘.
