To be honest, I also miss the old feature too, especially when I want to quickly evaluate a visually contiguous block. I'll see what I can do about it.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply.

Frankly, I found the old behavior much more convenient to use. Having the "Run Selection" execute blocks of code separated by blank lines was actually by far my most favorite feature of Spyder. I think most people naturally separate logical sections of the code by blank lines, so the feature was very convenient if I want to trace my code block by block.

I know I can achieve the same effect by using cells, but having to insert the separator(#%%) manually seems a bit cumbersome. But of course this is just my personal opinion.

Thanks for the great work.

    You can use "Shift+Enter" to evaluate the current cell and move to
    the
    next one (as F9 let you move from line to line)

    As an additional note, I have to mention that "Run selection" now
    only
    works by selecting something, whereas before you could use it to run
    blocks separated by blank lines or comments (so it's less useful).

    If you consider this behavior a big regression in functionality, we
    could consider reverting it, but please use cells first and tell
    us what
    you think about them.
