Low Code UI

Enhancement Description

When you add commands to the low code UI, the python code should be injected into the next notebook cell from where the widget was embedded.

• Changing the lowcode UI should update the same cell (not create a new cell)
  • If this is too difficult, add a button to inject the code into the next cell that can be manually clicked

Pseudo Code Implementation

This code creates a new cell in a place related to the current cursor position

from IPython.core.getipython import get_ipython

def create_new_cell(contents):
    shell = get_ipython()
    payload = dict(
        source='set_next_input',
        text=contents,
        replace=False,
    )
    return shell.payload_manager.write_payload(payload, single=False)
