Collapse Output In VS Code Jupyter Notebook into Scrollable Window

Question

Is there a way to show the output such as a very long data-frame in a scrollable window in VS Code Jupyter Notebook?

I am aware that pressing letter "o" allows you to collapse all output. But having the scrollable window is still preferable as it allows you to check the output while referring to other windows.

I also checked this link but couldn't get it work.

The update Notebooks are getting revamped! is for VSCode Insiders, we're using VS Code and now this funciton is not support in it. — Molly Wang-MSFT

A workaround for this is to add a print statement at the beginning or end of the cell output (e.g. print('foo')). This will trigger the scrollable window. — Davis

There is a beta feature for scrolling now. Simply add "notebook.experimental.outputScrolling": true to settings.json.

Meanwhile (VSCode 1.79.0 and newer) the feature is called: "notebook.output.scrolling": true

@burn4science "notebook.output.scrolling": true does not work for me. I've had it active for months, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Per the comments, a workaround to trigger the scrollable window is to add a print statement to the cell output. For example print("foo") at the beginning or end of a cell.

Search for notebook scroll in the settings (cmd + ,) and check the box.

And also do this for pandas

pd.set_option("display.max_rows", None, "display.max_columns", None)
