In my humble opinion, the new cell feature is great and something I really missed before. Particularly nice if you quickly want to run a few blocks of code together (so as one cell) that takes quite some time to execute. I understand the old 'run selection' may be missed, so my question is: does it have to be either/or? Can we not have both? At least for the buttons this should not be a problem, I think? For the short keys it does matter of course, but as long as we both have one, I wouldn't bother too much about which want get the Ctrl+Enter by default. We just have to adapt or change it to our personal preferences,
Leaves me to say: Thanks for the great work!
