Is this standard behavior for Sage?
Yes. The Sage notebook is a web app and each input cell is a web form, hence isn't submitted to the notebook server until you submit it by pressing *shift - enter*. We have considered changing the implementation to behave more like you describe above, but have not done so. Something more like you want would be possible to implement, though more complicated. It's sort of been on the todo list for a while, though it's unclear whether or not it should be implemented, since it's fairly common in web apps to not submit content until the user explicitly does something to submit it -- think about it -- otherwise every keystroke would have to go back to the server immediately, which would slow things down dramatically. It would be good though if clicking "Save" or "Close" at least saves the state at that point. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
