Vscode-jupyter: Expansion of cell output windows

Created on 2 Dec 2019  Â·  6Comments  Â·  Source: microsoft/vscode-jupyter

It would be fantastic if the notebook editor could provide expanded output cells, such that scrolling the individual cell windows would not be required. This is currently an option in Jupyter notebooks by double-clicking the side of the window to toggle expanded/compact.

Could be an toggle feature similar to that, a setting to apply to all, etc.

Good suggestion. We'll look into it.

I also think this should be an option. Would make life much easier.

I strongly recommend making the feature. It's really inconvenient.

Before we turn our attention to this enhancement, I wanted to give everyone an option to look at big cells without scrolling with our settings:

  • Set 'Python › Data Science: Enable Scrolling For Cell Outputs' to false. This setting makes the box be the size of the cell output.

  • Another option is to have that setting enabled, and change 'Python › Data Science: Max Output Size'. That setting changes the maximum output size for all cells, it goes from 0 to 9999 pixels. That could also get rid of most of your scrollbars.

Please upvote if the workaround David supplied above doesn't work well for you.
