If it comes to that, I usually kill the kernel though (Evaluation/Quit Kernel). Any progress on that In Wolfram Mathematica Ctrl-Shift-e is used to show the raw expression behind the selected cell. An alternative is to just start typing in the Output cell and Mathematica automatically creates a new Input cell with those Removes from memory some huge expression you created or imported in In.ĬlearAll and Remove Clears or Removes all values from variables you created in the current session. You can create keyboard shortcuts only for. You can use a key only once in a key combination. I use %, %%, or %2 only for very temporary 'scratchpad' calcs.Ĭtrl+L Copy input cell from the one just aboveĬtrl+Shift+L Copy output cell from the one just above, into new input cell. For example, press the Control, Option and Z keys at the same time. I use this frequently for a temporary variable name but if it turns out I need a more permanent mnemonic name I just create one: newName = %127. to give the Greek letter corresponding to the keyboard character

I found a way to modify the Edit menu to add a shortcut for this. (updated to add the backslashes that disappeared between my blog editor and WordPress) In Mathematica, typing index brackets is clumsy, as one has to type esc-esc then esc-esc. Rather than using palettes, just learn keyboard shortcuts for the symbols you use frequently, for example:Įsc+[character}+esc E.g. Adding a keyboard shortcut to Mathematica V7. This is handy when you have a long computation running, start another one, and want to abort that one without aborting the one that is running. Remove a selected computation from the Evaluation queue. If it doesn't work, do Evaluation/Quit Kernel.

They're automatically cleaned up when you go to a new Help topic.Īlt+. Do scratchpad calcs in Help rather than opening a new Notebook. Shift + F1 Open new instance of Help browser. F1 Search Help for expression to left of cursor
