Development suggestion

[David Cousens]

Hi 

Has anyone considered making the menu section of the sage Web interface non scrolling and only making the worksheet cell part of the interface scrollable.

I find myself often scrolling back through a large page to reach the menu and then having to scroll back to where I was in the worksheet.

David.

Great idea, but a) sagenb interface, while working fine, has a fairly moribund development b) the CoCalc .sagews files do have this ability c) Jupyter apparently has this as well, at least on CoCalc.

 

What is " the sage Web interface"?

I assume the poster is referring to the legacy Sage notebook server.

Me too.

David, this is a great suggestion. I opened a ticket for that:

https://github.com/sagemath/sagenb/issues/436

As others noted though, the legacy SageNB notebook is no longer

actively developed but rather in maintenance mode, and focus has

moved to the Jupyter notebook which one could say is emerging as

a universal standard for computational notebooks.
