Need to know Jupyter Notebook and Markdown Short cuts

A list of some shortcuts I think are essential

Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter notebooks are an open source application that allows you to create notebooks with live code. The notebooks help you stay organized with easy to annotate code and I find them essential for any project. I got my first experience with Jupyter in the flatiron data science program and got a crash course in how to use the notebooks. In this blog I will share some shortcuts for Jupyter and some tricks I wish I had known when I first started using the notebooks. The majority of these shortcuts I found on the Edereka Jupyter cheatsheet.
