[IPython-dev] Multiple selections

[MinRK]

Yes, I think enabling sublime keymap is possible
<https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/6221#issuecomment-58936367>:

in your profile’s custom.js:

require(["codemirror/keymap/sublime", "notebook/js/cell"],
function(sublime_keymap, cell) {
    cell.Cell.options_default.cm_config.keyMap = 'sublime';
});
