Split a code cell at cursor position? Add a cell above/below?

al_joe

In JupyterLab notebooks, we can --

  1. In edit mode, you can press Ctrl+Shift+Minus to split the current cell into two at the cursor position
  2. In command mode, you can click A or B to add a cell Above or Below the current cell

are there equivalent shortcuts in Databricks notebook?

Is there a complete list of keyboard shortcuts for Databricks Notebook?

Thanks

If you click the keyboard icon in the top right of the notebook it brings up all the hot keys

Answering my own question ... it appears that Ctrl+ALT+Minus is the shortcut here to split the cell at cursor position in Edit mode.

Thanks!

I see that it also correctly displays the Windows version of the list for me. Useful - appreciate that!

What's the status of the ctrl-alt-minus shortcut for splitting a cell?  That keyboard combination does absolutely nothing in my interface (running Databricks via Chrome on GCP).

I'm running Databricks GCP also. Just tried on Chrome and Edge, and the shortcut is working for me.
