Vscode-jupyter: Select Multiple Cells and Copy/Paste

Created on 17 Oct 2019 · 5Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-jupyter

Feature: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Python Editor cells

Description

One feature I've found myself wanting is the ability to select multiple cells to move or copy/paste them as a group (into the same notebook or into a different one).

As far as I can tell, this functionality has not been implemented in the native Code notebook editor. If it has been and I'm not seeing it, I apologize.

The native notebook editor is a gamechanger for me. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

Thanks for the suggestion.

(into the same notebook or into a different one

Can you already copy cells from one notebook into another in jupyter notebooks today.
Or do you use some other application that provides this functionality.

Unfortunately we do not have the ability to copy multiple cells.

I can copy / paste into a different notebook out of the box with JupyterLab, no extensions or anything.

@DonJayamanne this is pretty ridiculous: basic editor functionality like selecting multiple notebook cells is a low-hanging fruit and (I can't believe this has to be pointed out) an obvious necessity when working in a Jupyter notebook (or any code editor.

One year later, has this issue been fixed?

Agreed. I'm trying to switch from jupyter to vscode notebooks but they're so unfinished yet.
