Jupyter - Top Tricks and Shortcuts for Python Programming

As we all know, every programming IDE contains the shortcuts to make programming easy and reduce the execution timings. Jupyter Notebook also has some shortcuts and interesting facts that would be helpful for Python Programming.

Jupyter

This is made with a total of three language combinations –  Ju Julia, Pyt Python and R is R programming language.

Kernel is used while we are working with Python in Jupyter Notebook.

Both images are for a better understanding of kernel in Jupyter Console.

Here, we will discuss the _Jupyter version 6.0.1 _

Basically, there are two Keyboard Input Modes in Jupyter notebook,

Command Mode

Moreover, With the help of this image user have the complete list of the shortcut commands in Jupyter Notebook,

This is image title

Or You can go with H command in Command Mode.

To have a look to the command palette,

Use Ctrl + Shift + P

In this command palette, you can easily search the appropriate programming actions to apply to the code snippets.

There are many other features can be taken as the tricks of the Jupyter Notebook/Console,

  • Plotting in Notebook
  • Link to Documentation
  • Display the variables
  • IPython Commands: set environment, execute code, insert code from external scripts, pass variables, List variables of Global Scope, Timing, debugging
  • Shell commands
  • LaTeX formulas
  • Multicursors Support
  • Use different languages
  • Use different Kernels
  • Big Data Analysis
  • Sharing Notebooks

Summary

In this article, we learned about the tricks and short-cuts of the Jupyter Console in details. Using different libraries and frameworks we will implement these features in one other way. It will give us a better knowledge of the IDE and its use for the end-user applications.

I hope this tutorial will surely help and you if you liked this tutorial, please consider sharing it with others.
