Customize keymaps

注釈

Declarative Custom Keymaps is a provisional feature with unstable API which is not guaranteed to be kept in future versions of the notebook, and can be removed or changed without warnings.

The notebook shortcuts that are defined by jupyter both in edit mode an command mode are configurable in the frontend configuration file ~/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json. The modification of Keyboard shortcut suffer of several limitations, mainly that your Browser and OS might prevent certain shortcut to work correctly. If this is the case, there are unfortunately not much than can be done. The second issue can arise with keyboard that have a layout different than US English. Again even if we are aware of the issue, there is not much we can do about that.

Shortcut are also limited by the underlying library that handle code and text edition: CodeMirror. If some Keyboard shortcuts are conflicting, the method describe below might not work to create new keyboard shortcuts, especially in the edit mode of the notebook.

The 4 sections of interest in ~/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json are the following:

• keys.command.unbind
• keys.edit.unbind
• keys.command.bind
• keys.edit.bind

The first two section describe which default keyboard shortcut not to register at notebook startup time. These are mostly useful if you need to unbind a default keyboard shortcut before binding it to a new command.

These two first sections apply respectively to the command and edit mode of the notebook. They take a list of shortcut to unbind.

For example, to unbind the shortcut to split a cell at the position of the cursor (Ctrl-Shift-Minus)use the following:

// file ~/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json

{
  "keys": {
    "edit": {
      "unbind": [
        "Ctrl-Shift-Minus"
      ]
    },
  },
}

The last two section describe which new keyboard shortcut to register at notebook startup time, and which actions they trigger.

These two last sections apply respectively to the command and edit mode of the notebook. They take a dictionary with shortcuts as keys and commands name as value.

For example, to bind the shortcut G,G,G (Press G three time in a row) in command mode, to the command that restart the kernel and run all cells, use the following:

// file ~/.jupyter/nbconfig/notebook.json

{
  "keys": {
    "command": {
        "bind": {
            "G,G,G":"jupyter-notebook:restart-kernel-and-run-all-cells"
        }
    }
  },
}

The name of the available commands can be find by hovering the right end of a row in the command palette.
