Coming from RStudio, I'm familiar with the behavior of the cursor automatically moving to the next line after running the current line. I think this makes sense for data analysis. Does Spyder have something similar?
I'm familiar with the concept of cell and auto-advancing cell in Spyder. However, I want to maintain a pure Python script (that can be run with python file.py
) for portability, and don't want to use something that only makes sense on Spyder.

Spyder is an IDE. You can create a python script in the editor area, save it and run it using F5.
If you have a file in the editor area there isn't the concept of cell. You can create something similar. Have a look here. Once you have created some 'code cells' you can run these snippets using shift + Enter.
A third option would be to use F9 but you have to select the code you want to execute manually.

I have requested this feature on the Spyder github repository and it will be implemented in version 3.0 which will probably be released next month!
