How can I view a list of my notebooks?

How do I specify a default keyspace for a cell?
You can use the keyspace menu to select the keyspace or specify the CQL USE statement. The following rules apply to USE statements in Studio:
-
USE statements apply only to the current cell.
-
A USE statement overrides the default keyspace setting for all statements that follow the USE statement within that cell.
-
The keyspace selected in the keyspace drop down menu applies only to the current cell.
-
The selected keyspace is copied to new cells created below an existing CQL cell.
-
If a default keyspace is not selected, and there are no USE statements in the cell, all statements must be fully qualified to include the desired keyspace.
