Complete List of Jupyter Notebook Keyboard Shortcuts and Key Assignments

Basic Operations

The fundamental operations in Jupyter Notebook shortcuts include execution, saving, and mode switching. Learning these forms the foundation for working quickly. Especially, Shift+Enter is the most frequently used shortcut that runs the cell and moves to the next one simultaneously. Mastering mode switches with Esc/Enter greatly improves operational efficiency.

Cell Operations

Editing tasks like adding, deleting, copying, and pasting cells generally use OS-standard shortcuts without Ctrl. Added shortcuts such as "Add cell (A key)" and "Merge cells (Shift + M key)" make these relatively easy to master.

Change Cell Type

Changing cell type is a commonly used command, so it is good to memorize. Only three keys Y, M, R for different types are needed and will be natural to remember once used.

Cell Selection and Movement

Mastering cell selection and movement significantly speeds up work. Use J/K or arrows to move, and hold Shift to select multiple cells for batch operations like delete or merge.

Edit Mode

Editing shortcuts determine coding productivity. They largely conform to OS conventions, with some editor-specific additions. It is good to learn them if not familiar.

Display and Output Control

Output visualization controls are surprisingly useful. Toggle output display with O, scroll output with Shift+O to keep note clarity while reviewing results. Show line numbers with L for smoother review and discussion.

Kernel Operations

Stopping or restarting the kernel is handy when needed. The "I, I" interrupt shortcut is great for breaking infinite loops or long processes. The "0, 0" restart shortcut cleans the environment.

Scroll and Others

Navigation shortcuts improve notebook browsing efficiency. Scroll page-wise with Space/Shift+Space, open command palette with P or Ctrl+Shift+P for all-in-one function search and execution. Search quickly with Ctrl+F.
