This will be available in Notebook 7.

This was added in #6418.

@cailiang9 if you want to try it out you can install the latest pre-release of Notebook 7 with pip install --pre notebook. We recommend creating a new environment first so it's not too disruptive to your existing Jupyter installation if you have one already.

For reference new buttons can be added to the cell toolbar via the settings editor. For example to add the run cell button:

It would be nice to add this to the documentation so it's more visible.

@jtpio The mentioned Cell Toolbar setting is not available on my end:

$ conda list | grep notebook
notebook                  7.0.6              pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge
notebook-shim             0.2.3              pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge

on MacOS, if it matters

[jtpio]

@cipri-tom this should be fixed by #7766, which will be available in the next release.

Otherwise there has been some explorations for adding a run button in the input prompt: jupyterlab/jupyterlab#17775
So we can likely close this issue and continue the discussion in the upstream issues and PRs, since it is a change that will likely be implemented in JupyterLab anyways.
