Rubberband

Multi-Cell selection using a rubberband

Description

The rubberband extension allows selecting multiple cells. It is still a work-in-progress.

Two other extensions make use of this feature: exercise and chrome_clipboard.

Installation

Copy the rubberband directory to a new /nbextensions/usability/rubberband directory of your user's IPython directory and add

IPython.load_extensions('usability/rubberband/main')

to your custom.js file. Take a look at the general installation instructions in the Wiki if you are unsure how to proceed.

Internals

New metadata element added to each cell:

• cell.metadata.selected - means this cell is selected
