- It would great to be able to type<br>
ipython notebook odes.ipynb<br>
and have the relevant ipynb open directly, instead of going via the<br>
dashboard<br>

- Folding:<br>
In my notebook, the output of several cells were folded, in particular the<br>
result of things like<br>
help(odeint)<br>
[I am planning on using this for a course, and wanted to record this step<br>
in the notebook]<br>
But in the result of nbconvert, the full output of the documentation is<br>
shown.<br>
<br>
This is very bad news -- how can the output folding be respected and not<br>
shown?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>This seems to be a more general problem: if I hide the output of a cell in the notebook, save and close, and reopen the same notebook, then the output appears in full. This seems to me to be an actual bug. I will (look for and) open an issue.</div>

- New LaTeX commands:<br>
I defined various LaTeX shortcuts like<br>
\newcommand{\yy}{\mathbf{y}}<br>
inside $$...$$ in markdown cells.<br>
(Is this the correct / canonical way to do this?)<br>
<br>
Markdown seems to respect these in the rest of the document, and in the<br>
HTML output, but running<br>
pdflatex on the LaTeX output forgot about them immediately after they were<br>
defined.<br>
<br>
<br>
- Suppressing code cells in LaTeX output:<br>
Towards the reproducible paper goal, how can code cells be suppressed in<br>
the LaTeX output. I guess with the metadata somehow?<br>
<br>
<br>
3. Notebook issues:<br>
- Keyboard shortcuts:<br>
I am a keyboard person: for me, all functionality which is accessible via<br>
menus should be assigned a (preferably modifiable) keyboard shortcut.<br>
In particular, it seems that split cell, merge cell, and close and halt are<br>
currently missing shortcuts.<br>
<br>
- Similarly, could there be toolbar icons for split and merge?<br>
<br>
- Basic find and replace in the notebook:<br>
Find and replace, at least a basic one, is a must-have feature for<br>
refactoring.<br>
This seems to already be available in CodeMirror<br>
<br>
- In-place file editing<br>
It seems that by combining the %load and %%file magics,<br>
one has a kludgy way of editing an arbitrary file.<br>
Maybe this could be combined easily into an %%edit magic?<br>
<br>
- Is there a way of deleting multiple input cells simultaneously, rather<br>
than pressing Ctrl M-d several times or clicking the scissors icon several<br>
times (which admittedly is easier in this case). This would be very nice to<br>
have<br>
<br>
<br>
4. Notebook styling:<br>
- There seems to be much appetite for notebook styling, e.g. xkcdify.<br>
<br>
Here is a gist I found, referenced from a blog post that Brian commented on<br>
at some point, with a very basic interface. Something like this would be<br>
great to have, with a user-contributed style database:<br>
<br>

<br>
Maybe this could just be via load_ext?<br>
<br>
By the way, is there a list of the possible extensions available?<br>
<br>
- Will Min's nbtoc extension be integrated?<br>
<br>
<br>
Apologies for the long message, but these are the things that have been<br>
bugging me for the last few days :)<br>
<br>
Thanks and best wishes,<br>
David.<br>
