Editor features#

This guide introduces some of marimo editor’s features, including a variables panel, dependency graph viewer, table of contents, HTML export, GitHub copilot, code formatting, HTML export, a feedback form, and more.

This guide introduces some of these features.

Overview panels#

marimo ships with the following IDE-like panels that help provide an overview of your notebook:

  1. errors: view errors in each cell;

  2. variables: explore variable values, see where they are defined and used;

  3. dependency graph: view dependencies between cells;

  4. table of contents: corresponding to your markdown;

  5. logs: a continuous stream of stdout and stderr.

Click these buttons to access the editor panels.

These panels can be toggled via the buttons in the lower left of the editor.

Cell actions#

Click the dot array to the right of a cell to pull up a context menu (or hold and drag to move the cell):

Access cell actions like code formatting, hiding code, and more through the cell context menu.

Keyboard shortcuts#

We’ve kept some well-known keyboard shortcuts for notebooks (Ctrl-Enter, Shift-Enter), dropped others, and added a few of our own. Hit Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-H to pull up the shortcuts.

We know keyboard shortcuts are very personal; we’ll let you remap them in the future.

Command palette#

Hit Cmd/Ctrl+K to open the command palette.

Quickly access common commands with the command palette.

Send feedback#

The question mark icon in the panels tray (lower left of the editor) opens a dialog to send anonymous feedback. We welcome any and all feedback, from the tiniest quibbles to the biggest blue sky dreams.

Send anonymous feedback with our feedback form.

If you’d like your feedback to start a conversation (we’d love to talk with you!), please consider posting in our GitHub issues or Discord. But if you’re in a flow state and can’t context switch out, the feedback form has your back.
