Jupyter Notebook vs Google Colab – Shortcuts

Here are some of the basic differences and shortcut commands between these two tools

1. Are these two the same?

Although both these tools have exactly the same objectives & usage, they’re a little bit different in how they operate, here are those minor differences:

Install Jupyter Notebook and Google Colab

Colab installationJupyter installation

2. Modes of operation in Colab

Command Mode (Ctrl + M or Esc): Where you don’t see a blinking cursor, cannot type but can apply a few shortcuts (insert, delete cells, …).

Edit Mode (Enter): Where you see a blinking cursor & can start writing code.

3. Shortcuts in Colab vs Jupyter

Note: The reason you see Ctrl + M in front of shortcuts in Colab is certain shortcuts work only in Command Mode & some in Edit Mode.
