How to run current line and advance in VS Code? (windows)

Let's say I have a few lines I want to run one-by-one.

x=5
y=6
print(x+y)

I set the cursor on x=5 and press Shift + Enter, which according to the settings does this: Python: Run current cell and advance

However when I press shift + enter, it runs the current line, but doesn't advance it just stays there.

Any idea how to fix this?

I use the vscode-jupyter-python extension to run and advance without using code cell syntax.

In order to "run cell and advance" as in a Jupyter Notebook, you need to first define the cells using the #%% command. See here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py

#%%
x = 5

#%%
y = 6

#%%
print(x+y)

Your other option is to create an actual Jupyter Notebook with the .ipynb extension. VS Code will then automatically create the cells.
