How to Format Jupyter notebook in VSCode？

Question

We can format python code in the jupyter notebook in the browser. After I change to VSCode and use the Microsoft extension, I find I can not format Jupyter notebook any more. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Answer 1

As Kyle Carow stated in their answer to Ian Huff: Formatting of notebooks is available by now.

• MacOS: Option+Shift+F
• Windows: Ctrl+Shift+I (This is cited from Kyle Carow as I didn't test this myself yet.)

Pressing these keys will either trigger a formatting of the active cell or the notebook as a whole if no cell is active.

Answer 2

Windows: Shift+Alt+F

Is what worked for me with Black formatter set up on VS Code Version: 1.64.2

Or right click "Format Notebook" to format entire notebook.

Answer 3

I do not think VS Code support formatting of code cells, but if you use the black code formatter, then you can use the blackcellmagic %%black to format the code in a cell.

You need to have pip install black and blackcellmagic, details here: https://github.com/csurfer/blackcellmagic
