Go to next line #14695
Description
(Using Terminal)
Currently, executing a line - stays on the current line.
Is it possible to have the same behavior as Pycharm (or many other REPLs - even Visual studio + PTVS), where by the cursor moves to the next line.
This saves a considerable amount of time.
Other issue is that executing a code block like a function, does not finish entry in the to the terminal. This require, either to select two additional lines after the function ends or to manually add enter in the terminal. Toggling between terminal and editor is a killer.

This would be great! There is some discussion of this feature at microsoft/vscode-jupyter#1471. It seems like the conclusion was to add a new command that executes and moves to the next line, to which users could add a keybinding if they wanted.
This feature would ideally exist for both

This would be very useful, a must need feature.

Related on Stack Overflow: VS Code Python move to next line on run ctrl + enter.
Also, it's interesting to me that this is going forward when #13495 was declined. Or was it only declined because it would be changing default behaviour of an established keybinding? ... But is this feature-request not also requesting to change default behaviour?

weirdness: people on Stack Overflow have reported twice recently that they are now observing this behaviour by default...
I'm assuming that's a bug, but I can't reproduce it on my end, so I can't be of much use raising an issue ticket. If anyone ends up raising an issue ticket about that, please ping me in it so I can follow along.

Hi everyone, cursor moving to the next executable code block (#21838) with shift+enter is default behavior with new feature "Smart Send". I do realize not everyone enjoys using this feature so there is a setting to turn this off if you search 'repl' in extension setting, there is a toggle on/off for REPL smart send.
