Keyboard shortcuts#

If you know the Jupyter keyboard shortcuts, you can work much more efficiently with notebooks. Jupyter notebooks have two different keyboard input modes:

  • In edit mode you can enter code or text in a cell. This is indicated by a green cell border.

  • Command mode binds the keyboard to notebook-level commands and is indicated by a gray cell border with a blue left border.
