Add option to run cell in terminal

Creating a line with #%% Defines a “cell” that can currently be run through Jupyter. I have tried to use Jupyter for about a week for interactive development, but for various reasons, it isn’t a good fit for me (tl;dr: too much ux overhead).

However, the ability to mark something as a cell and have a quick way to run that block without explicitly selecting the block first is great.

So I propose to add a command to Run Current #%%-cell in Terminal (i.e. not in Jupyter).

Similar functionality that already exists: Run Cell in Jupyter -> opens a new tab with Jupyter with all its features and clutter. Run Python File in Terminal Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal

Thanks for the suggestion! We talked about it with the team offline and we have unfortunately decided we will not be moving forward with this idea. We think there isn’t an enough widespread need for this to warrant the maintenance cost for the feature.

When not using Jupyter, the “Run Cell | Run Above | Debug Cell” is less than useful. With many small cells, this ends up being a lot of clutter.

@adamal, there is a setting "jupyter.enableCellCodeLens" that can be set to false to remove Cell’s options in the editor
