Is there any shortcut to insert a new line below the current line?

jupyter/notebook#3918

In JupyterLab, I tried to change the behavior using this config:

{
    "shortcuts": [
        {
            "command": "console:linebreak",
            "keys": [
                "Ctrl Enter"
            ],
            "selector": ".jp-Notebook.jp-mod-editMode"
        },
           {
            "command": "notebook:run-cell",
            "keys": [
                "Enter"
            ],
            "selector": ".jp-Notebook.jp-mod-editMode"
        }
     ]
}

I probably need the option "notebook:linebreak", which is not there.

Doesn't Enter insert a new line below the current line in the notebook?

edit: well, it inserts a new line at the cursor position. In your scenario, where is the cursor before and after the command?

The Jupyter QtConsole documentation in the "Multiline editing" section has an excellent description of the behavior of the code editor.

https://github.com/jupyter/qtconsole/blob/f65369c602a659ad0e3bb6e87ccc4df50ba2907c/qtconsole/usage.py#L26

I would like to have a full implementation of the Jupyter QtConsole behavior in JupyterLab Web.

I think we have some of that already in the Console, which is the analog to the qt console in JupyterLab. We'd welcome discussion and PRs to make it better, of course!

It's still not clear to me exactly what you are advocating for, though. Are you advocating for changes in the notebook, or the JupyterLab console? You mention qt console, so that would be most similar to the JupyterLab console, but you brought up the notebook above, so I'm confused.

To create Python scripts, Pycharm suited me. But the statistical syntax analyzer does not work well with Pandas. Now I am looking for an alternative.

I tried JupyterLab Web first, but the code execution behavior didn't work for me.

Tried Jupyter QtConsole today. I liked the method of running the code.

Thanks for the extra context. Try the Code Console in JupyterLab for similar behavior: https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/code_console.html

Adjust the way enter/shift-enter works by changing the "Console Run Keystroke" in the settings menu.

Or keep using qt console if you're happy with it, of course. It's a fine Jupyter frontend as well!
