Shift Tab on Google Colab - google-colaboratory

Using the command "Shift-Tab" does not work in Google Colab. Does anyone know an alternative that can be used?
I tried using shift + tab during the command and after a parenthesis after the command. For example, it was used at "print" and then again at "print("

On Colab, for SHIFT+ TAB to work, you have to disable Automatically trigger code completions on Tools->Settings.
You also have to have already imported the library that you are trying to get the docstring. For example run the import in another code snippet.
All Shortcuts can be found using CTRL + MH or going to Tools->Keyboard Shortcuts

Add a ? character and run the cell. Example:

You can see the docstring also just pressing TAB on Colab.
e.g.: print( + TAB
If it doesn't work, disable the Automatically trigger code completions by going to Tools->Settings->Editor

The shortcut for showing the docstring on Colab is ALT+/

Databricks notebook multicursor

I would like to use Multicursor feature in Databricks notebook but I couldn't find one. Does this support it? Is there a plugin for it?
I look at IntelliJ Idea Multi-line editing feature as a perfect example:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/rider/Multicursor.html
There is an option to get multiple cursor with Ctrl + alt + mouse left long click on all the lines that you want to select.

Quick Docstrings in Colaboratory

I'm starting to play with Colaboratory but I've noticed that shift-tab doesn't pop up Docstrings for functions as it does in Jupyter.
Is this functionality absent or just accessed some other way?
This is what helped me e.g.
Image( and then CTRL+Shift+Space bar
do it with only one bracket.
Shift-tab dedents. To see contextual help inline, hit tab after an open parens, e.g.,
import os
os.open(
Or, execute the cell with a trailing ? and help will open in the bottom pane, e.g,.
import os
os.open?
Ctrl + Space helped me. Both for docstring and autocomplete.
As of 2020-03-20 on Chrome, if you just mouse over the function, a small pop-up shows the input parameters.
As you start typing them auto completion is offered.
And if you press Ctrl while hovering, the function becomes a link that when clicked opens up the documentation of the function.
Autocomplete works with Ctrl+Space or simply Tab depending on situation.
Note: It must know the type of the object it is working with. So if you do data.transform() and data has no value yet, Colab won't know what to display because .transform() depends on what you apply it to. You can select the line(s) where data is created and run only those with Ctrl+Shift+Enter (run selected lines only).
If you're in a parenthesis or between arguments (eg after a comma), tab will show you the docstring -- so if you are typing something like print('hello', sep=''), then tab after the paren or between the comma and the next arg will show you the docstring.
Hope that it helped.
space works for me. If you've closed a pop-up docstring (e.g with the esc key), then you can reopen it by pressing space.
This will also input a space, so you can remove it with backspace but the docstring will remain in view. As usual, which docstring you get will depend on where your caret is.
In 2022 getting detailed doc string shortcut is definitely Ctrl+Space

Alt+Enter does not work properly IntelliJ [duplicate]

When working with IntelliJ on a JavaProject it shows to use alt + enter to import a class for example, but this isnt working anymore. It worked in the past, but something must have changed, -the shortcut is still set,-other shortcut would work- i cant assign alt+enter manually, although if i reset it to default it gets set to it, any ideas how to fix my problem? btw my keyboard layout is german, but i dont think it is the problem because it worked in the past, my os is win 7. edited: when i am working within the IDE and i e.g. write Arrays.toString(a); and didn't import "java.util.Arrays" yet, the IDE says: " ? java.util.Arrays? Alt+Eingabe"    (Eingabe = Enter in German) so when i assign a different shortcut it works, but with Alt+Enter it doesnt thanks in advance for any help.
"Well, it means IDE doesn't see the shortcut for some reason. Probably it's already used by some other application or the operating system. – CrazyCoder 25 mins ago "
i closed all applications and it turns out that, Facebook GameRoom, running in the background, somehow is the reason the shortcut doesn't work, i have no idea why, but thats the solution
many thanks to CrazyCoder
It was working earlier but it stopped working due to unknown reason,
One workaround is Try fn+Alt+Enter
I had the same problem
and it turned out to be the keyboard language in Windows, It wasn't english,
so just make sure you are on English
On my side, culprit is some VPN software called PulseSecure
fn + Alt+Enter+Shift worked for me (credits #ketankk).
My problem solved. just try :
LEFT Alt + Enter
LEFT Alt+Enter
Looks like some languages override Right Alt behavior, at least in case of Lithuanian Left Alt is working fine with Lithuanian enabled, Right does not, when switch to English, everything is fine again. Was pulling hair to figure out why out of nowhere it stops working, thanks
In my case hint is showing Alt + Shift + Enter, but Ctrl+Shift+Enter works for some reason oO
In my case, I mapped Alt+Enter to a system shortcut (for expanding the current window) and I forgot. So it might not be another program, but your past self-sabotaging you.
I have the same issue. Alt+Insert not working while I was trying to generate getters/setters for my POJO class.
I just added another shortcut for that "Generate" operation.
If you are using Intellij Idea, you can do that by following steps:
Go to File -> Settings -> Keymap.
On the search bar appeared, search for "Generate", you will find an entry to which assigned shortcut will be Alt+Insert.
Right click on this entry and select 'Add Keyboard shorcut'.
Now, type your own shortcut that you want. In my case, I used Ctrl+Shift+G.
It worked fine and now I am using my new shortcut for Generate operation.
I had the same problem while upgrading to a new IDE version. The cause was a plugin error in new IDE version, I resolved disabling/updating that plugin.

Is there a shortcut to organize lines

Within the Cloud9 IDE, is there a shortcut to organize the lines of the Code, similar to the shortcut in Eclipse - Ctrl+A, Ctrl+I ?
see the next function (there is no meaning to the code) :
Before the Action
Now I do Ctrl+I and see the code now :
After The Action
Select the text you want to beautify and then press Ctrl+B (on PC/Linux). At time of writing, this only works for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
What you are looking for is in this section of their documentation. I am not quite sure what you are referring to when you say "organize lines of code", but all of the shortcuts for c9 are in the link.
https://docs.c9.io/docs/keybindings#section-code-manipulation
If you are referring to beautifying your code then this is what you are looking for is Shift + Ctrl + B this will beautify your text. Which is provided in the link.
Ctrl + A is just select all and should work as is.
***********UPDATE**************
With the information just provided, you are using C++ Here is a link to a plugin you can install to help with adding features for that language
https://github.com/invokr/c9.ide.language.cpp
there may be a better one out there, but there are some out there.

Atom: Imitate 'Shift-Enter' keybinding of IntelliJ

In IntelliJ IDEA, one of the more helpful commands I've found is 'Shift-Enter' - it effectively moves the cursor to the end of the line, and starts a new line, thus not affecting the text on the current line.
I'd like to re-create this in Atom, but I can't seem to figure out how one would go about doing so. It doesn't look like you can have multiple editor actions for a given key combination, and I'm not sure if I simply can't find the esoteric editor command I'm looking for.
How can I recreate the behavior of shift-enter in IntelliJ for Atom?
As it so happens, I stumbled across the shortcut: You can use cmd-enter to do the same action. I'm not sure what the underlying command is, but I hope this is helpful to other people!
You can recreate this behaviour by adding this to your keymap:
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor:not([mini])':
'shift-enter': 'editor:newline-below'
Detailed answer;
Freshly open atom editor
Open Keymap option
Copy this and paste this;
'atom-workspace atom-text-editor:not([mini])':
'shift-enter': 'editor:newline-below'
Click save and close the file
Press Shift and enter, Now you'll be able to form a new line below the line you currently in are regardless of the place you are typing in.
