When you are on a cell in Command mode(blue color mode), simply press Shift + DownArrow or Shift + UpArrow to select multiple cells. Press ctrl + C. And that's it. You have copied your entire selected code at once. It doesn't affect whether you have cell outputs.

Command mode: The Jupyter Notebook has two different keyboard input modes. Edit mode allows you to type code or text into a cell and is indicated by a green cell border. Command mode binds the keyboard to notebook level commands and is indicated by a grey cell border with a blue left margin.

For jupyterlab after Shift + UpArrow or Shift + select with mouse on multiple cells. Right click on cells for copy(C) and paste(P).

Answer 4

Open notebook dir as project in PyCharm, and then open the wanted ipynb file, select and copy all the source code, past into notepad++, replace "\r\n#%%\r\n\r\n" by null with extended search mode.

Answer 5

In jupyter you can copy several cells or the content of one cell. If you follow @BenWS comment you can copy several cells, and if you do kernel > restart & clear outputs beforehand you woult not get the [out]. Shortcut is C for copy cell and V shift + V to paste below / above.

However if you intend to copy several cells content, you should merge then before by select them and shift + M and then you can copy paste with ctrl + C.
