Within Visual Studio Code, what is the difference between a jupyter notebook and a notebook?

Question

I have recently switched to Visual Code for Python coding and attempted to change keybindings. However, I came cross two seemingly different but yet similar keybindings:

"Jupyter: Run Current Cell And Advance" and "Notebook: Execute Notebook Cell and Select Below" (See image below).

Since they appear to do the same thing I gave them the same keyboard shortcut but I am still confused between the difference of the two.

From my understanding keyboard shortcuts are context sensitive. For instance, you will have different shortcuts when opening a .ipynb file when compared to opening a .py file.

So when is the "Jupyter"-context used as opposed to the "Notebook"-context? Are they not the same?

"Jupyter: Run Current Cell And Advance" and "Notebook: Execute Notebook Cell and Select Below" keybindings.

Answer 1

Any Shortcuts works under some conditions specified in the When . So, although you can find a lot of identical Shortcuts , they will not conflict with each other on usual.

The Notebook related shortcut was build in the VSCode, while the Jupyter related shortcut was created by Jupyter Extension .

But you can find many Notebook shortcut can be used in the Jupyter . That's because Notebook was the common API in the VSCode, it intends to bring similar experiences inside VSCode in different Notebook interfaces.
