Execute Code Cell: Add Codelens

[bolducke]

It would be nice to have codelens similar to the python extension with Jupyter Notebook.

Or maybe change background color for active cell, similarly to MATLAB. In present state, it is hard to see what exactly I will run.

Also, on my system execute cell does not move cursor to next cell. That would be great to have as well as a shortcut to move to cell up/down with cursor.

Great suggestion, I moved that to a separate issue, because implementing these two is independent.

+1 for this, and generally anything that can help make code cells more visible/intuitive to beginners!

I find the cell experience in VS Code interactive mode to be great: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/issues/273. I wish the Julia VS Code extension would embrace it as it is literally the https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext standard.

This is where the feature you're after comes from, the interactive mode of VS Code.
