Is it possible to copy a cell from one jupyter notebook to another?

jupyter-notebook, python

Solution

This feature has been introduced in Jupyter Notebook 5.0. Use `pip install notebook --upgrade` to upgrade to the latest release.

The old shortcuts `C`, `V` and `X` work only for copying and pasting inside one notebook. In order to do it across tabs, you should use `Ctrl-C` and `Ctrl-V` (`Cmd-C` and `Cmd-V` on Mac).

Note on multiple cells: currently (jupyter 6.0.0) on Mac+chrome using shift-click to select the cells then cmd-C does NOT work, while using the keyboard with shift-down-arrow does! (thanks drevicko for pointing this out)
