Adding line breaks in ipython

Question

If introduce a for loop in iPython, or any multi-line command, how do I go back and add lines to it? I ran this:

for row in table.find_all(\'tr\'):
    cells

Been suffering this problem for a while. I just found that when using Ctrl-qCtrl-j (That's lowercase Q, J, no need to hold the shift key) will add a linefeed to an existing IPython edit session.

for li in some_list: print(li)    

Moving the cursor after the colon and pressing Ctrl-qCtrl-j

for li in some_list:
print(li)
