Currently, as far as I'm aware, no, there isn't. Possibly we should give
one, though I think that's too late for 3.0 now.

There's a code snippet to restore Ctrl-J/Ctrl-K here:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/7732#issuecomment-74519970

The shortcuts set in cm_config are only for Codemirror, i.e. they act
within a single cell. Notebook shortcuts, e.g. for moving cells around, are
defined elsewhere.

Basically nothing about the JS API is documented yet, and this is kind of
deliberate - most of it is still changing pretty fast, and we don't want to
give a false impression of stability.

In IPython 3, there is a way of storing declarative frontend config,
including a set of extensions to load, so you don't have to manually edit
custom.js to enable them. There is an extension built on top of this to
provide a GUI for enabling and disabling extensions:
