I think maybe I just totally missed this in the Livebook documentation, but is there a way to select multiple cells at once? I’m not seeing this in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu and have checked going up to 0.13.3. My desire to do this comes up a lot when building new notebooks using the scaffolding of a prior notebook. After I do a multiple selection I’d like to at least copy, paste, delete, and move up or down.
Hey @toodle, there is no such feature. You can move/delete whole sections, but I assume that’s not what you are looking for. There are two things you may consider:
-
forking the original notebook, then delete parts you don’t need
-
since notebooks are saved as Markdown, you could open the notebook in a text editor, freely copy/paste and move things around. Once done, you can open it in Livebook again
Any plans to put this on the roadmap? Are there any other users who have asked for this feature?
No plans at the moment. FWIW this hasn’t been requested before, as far as I remember : )
