Every time I type something into a notebook, I am compelled to first change the cell type from Input to Code, and then unset the menu option in Cell > Cell Properties > Initialization Cell.

What global notebook option must I edit to have a non-initialised Code cell created by default when I enter text into a notebook? The following link did not help me very much:

How do I change the default format type of new cells?

Thanks in advance.

Edit 1

I have tried changing the option in Option Inspector, but the change does not get saved:

Edit 2

I am leaving Edit 1 unaltered, so that Domen's remark has context.

  • $\begingroup$ It is noted in the first paragraph. I have very little need for the Input cell, since I prefer the formatting of Code. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ That is the suggestion in the link in my post. I tried changing "Input" to "Code" there, but the option cannot be saved. Clicking Apply does not do anything. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ No it is not, the option name is different. $\endgroup$

Reset to default

Put this in your initialization file:

SetOptions[$FrontEnd, 
    DefaultNewCellStyle -> "Code",  
    InitializationCellEvaluation -> False]

(but see note about InitializationCellEvaluation).

This is slightly different from what you are asking if you want to mark just some cells for initialization (the above solution turns it off globally). Unfortunately, I don't know how to avoid that.
