I have summarized the Jupyter Notebook shortcuts and the most used code snippets below that will save your time while using Jupyter notebook.

Shortcuts

These shortcuts are for Jupyter Notebook version 5.6.0.

            When using shortcuts, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the notebook is command or editing mode.

  • I , If I is pressed 2 times consecutively, the kernel stops.
  • 0 , Restarts the kernel with the dialog box.
  • Y , returns the cell to code mode.
  • M, returns the cell to markdown mode.
