Rubberband - jcb91/IPython-notebook-extensions-wiki GitHub Wiki
Multi-Cell selection using a rubberband. This extension is only available for IPython versions 3.x and 4.x.
Description
The rubberband extension allows selecting multiple cells. Cells are selected by pressing shift or ctrl+shift + left mouse button click and dragging the rubber band over the cells.
shift+ left mouse button : select cells that are currently touched by the rubberbandctrl+shift+ left mouse button : select cells that were touched by the rubberband
The ctrl+shift action is useful when scrolling inside the notebook. Scrolling is activated when the mouse reaches the upper or lower boundary of the notebook area. For now, the mouse has to be moved to achieve continuous scrolling.
A short video demonstrating the rubberband extension can be found here:
Two other extensions make use of this feature: exercise and Chrome Clipboard.
