yes

we dont have that option till now but hover between the cells in the side-to-side middle and you will see a + sign appear. This is how you can insert cells into the top-to-bottom middle of a notebook.

You can also move cells by hovering in the upper left of each cell. A cross-hairs will appear and you can drag the cell up or down.

hi @mundy Jim i have checked in the databricks that how to split the cells , and there itself it is written that by using shortcut key SHIFT+ALT+(-) you can split the cells , but sometimes due to the processing and databricks issues that will not work

I could have sworn that the last time I found this page with a search, this shortcut failed to work for me. However, it just worked for me today.
