Can I cut/paste multiple cells of jupyter notebook using VS Code? I don't see any menu inside VS Code for this operation. Is it available now? Thanks

I'd like to export the content of a Jupyter Notebook from Visual Studio Code to HTML with the wrapped cells I see in VS Code. Is there any way to keep that view?
How to run multiple selected code chunks of Jupyter notebook in VScode IDE?
After selecting some consecutive code cells with Shift+Down Arrow, how do I run the cells?
This is easily done in Jupyter notebook IDE but I can not figure it out in VScode IDE.
Perhaps this didn't always work, but I can run consecutive selected shells using Shift+Enter, same as running a single selected cell.
I am unable to automatically insert a cell after running my cell which is annoying as it breaks workflow on Jupyter Notebooks on Visual Studio Code. Can someone suggest a good extension or a hidden setting in vscode to enable this feature?
You can use the Shift+Enter shortcut to run the current cell and insert a new cell below. Please file an issue at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter if this is currently not working as expected for you.
I'm working with a Jupyter notebook. How would you copy cells in Visual Studio Code? C to copy and V to Paste did not work for me as it would online.
Also, Visual Studio doesn't seem to offer right click options when working in the notebook. Is there a extension that would give me some options such as Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete Cell, Etc.?
I'm a developer on this extension, and I have a bit of a two part answer for you.
In the current (as of 2/16/21) stable release version of the extension notebook UI is done by a hosted webview, it was the only supported option at the time. As such it is lacking features both of Jupyter and of VS Code editor instances. It does not currently support cutting, copying and pasting of cells.
We are currently in the process of moving over to VS Code's new notebook UI that they provide. This allows better UI both for matching Jupyter and supporting more VS Code editor features. This current UI does allow for copying / cutting / pasting cells with the familiar Jupyter commands.
This support will not be added to the old editors, but currently the new UI is available if you use the extension with VS Code - Insiders and will soon start rolling out to VS Code Stable.

Short answer: Supported with VS Code - Insiders now, and will be supported on stable VS Code in the future.
The new version of the visual studio Jupyter Notebook extension support all the standard operations for one or multiple cells of the jupyter notebook. For example, the following list shows some tested shutcuts:
To copy a selected cell(s) use: ctrl+c
To paste a selected cell(s) use: ctrl+v
To cut a selected cell(s) use: ctrl+x
To delete a selected cell(s) use: ctrl+x
etc.
Note that, as usual, to select multiples cells one should hold the ctrl button before selecting.
As of 2021-01-14, you can now select the cells, right click on any single one of the cells you selected (this will select them as a group if you select more than one) and have the option to press COPY. Or you can simply ctrl+C as a keyboard shortcut. The key here is when you copy and paste the cells to another notebook, your cursor needs to be outside any cells; that is you need to press somewhere outside the cell before pasting. In COLAB notebook, even if your cursor is on a cell, the copy and pasting method works. BUT here if you do that you will be pasting all of the codes inside the cell where your cursor is active; it will not paste the actual cells you copied.
Hope this wasn't too confusing.
We can format python code in the jupyter notebook in the browser. After I change to VSCode and use the Microsoft extension, I find I can not format Jupyter notebook any more. Does anyone know how to solve this?
As Kyle Carow stated in their answer to Ian Huff: Formatting of notebooks is available by now.
MacOS: Option+Shift+F
Windows: Alt+Shift+F
Pressing these keys will either trigger a formatting of the active cell or the notebook as a whole if no cell is active.
Windows: Shift+Alt+F
Is what worked for me with Black formatter set up on VS Code Version: 1.64.2
Or right click "Format Notebook" to format entire notebook.
Format Notebook
I do not think VS Code support formatting of code cells, but if you use the black code formatter, then you can use the blackcellmagic %%black to format the code in a cell.
You need to have pip install black and blackcellmagic, details here: https://github.com/csurfer/blackcellmagic
I'm not exactly sure what is being asked here. But currently in VS Code the notebook editor and interactive window do not support formatting python code.
However we are moving to a new UI for those features which will support all the formatting features of VS Code in .py files. If you try out VS Code - Insiders now you should see this support and can try it out. This new UI will eventually be rolling out to VS Code stable.
Edit: The new UI which supports formatting in cells is now out by default for stable users.
If you have a Jupyter notebook open in VS Code with the Jupyter notebook extension, it should be possible to format code cells with Ctrl+ Shift+ I.
I'm not sure if this shortcut differs between operating systems, you can check what the shortcut is yourself by hitting Ctrl+ Shift+ P and then searching for "Format cell". The shortcut should be displayed then.
