Command mode

Craig uses command mode in the lectures. He types a esc followed by another key. I'd like to understand what exactly he does. If I understand right, he types b to go below. This works for me. Does he type a to go above? When I use a, I do not get that behavior. I looked here for keyboard navigation: https://jupyter-notebook.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/Notebook/Notebook%20Basics.html . But it doesn't explain it very well.

Givens,

Be sure to press esc to re-enter command mode, then 'a' to insert above. There's also, like Craig said, a searchable reference to all the keyboard shortcuts that you can access with the keyboard button in the toolbar. Looking for 'insert' in that menu will pull up the shortcut you're looking for.
