Start webbrowser in a thread. Prevents lockup with Chrome....
Start webbrowser in a thread. Prevents lockup with Chrome. If a user has Chrome set as their default browser (system-wide or via the `BROWSER` environment variable), opening the notebook hangs because the chrome call doesn't return immediately. This solves the issue by opening the browser in a thread. Note that there remains an issue where killing the notebook will kill Chrome if the Chrome session was started by us. I haven't found a way to work around that despite attempts by making the webbrowser.open() call in a subprocess.

%clip n1-n2 n3-n4 ... n5 .. n6 ...
This function uses the same syntax as %macro for line extraction, but
instead of creating a macro it saves the resulting string to the
clipboard.
When used without arguments, this returns the text contents of the clipboard.

mytext = %clip
