How to automatically advance to the next line after F9 in Spyder IDE

Question

Coming from RStudio, I'm familiar with the behavior of the cursor automatically moving to the next line after running the current line. I think this makes sense for data analysis. Does Spyder have something similar?

I'm familiar with the concept of cell and auto-advancing cell in Spyder. However, I want to maintain a pure Python script (that can be run with python file.py) for portability, and don't want to use something that only makes sense on Spyder.

Answer 1

I have requested this feature on the Spyder github repository and it will be implemented in version 3.0 which will probably be released next month!
