Jump to Failed Cell Shortcut / Button

[jwatson-CO-edu]

Note:

Requesting a feature identical to jupyter/notebook#4323 (comment) in Notebook.

Problem

When I am running a large jupyterlab notebook start to finish (▸▸), some intermediate cell will fail and I must hunt and scroll to find it.

Proposed Solution

In order of usefulness:

1. "Jump to Next Failed Cell Output" Hotkey
2. "Jump to Next Failed Cell Output" UI Button

Additional context

We use Jupyter for prototyping software projects, and in the days just before a notebook is flipped to a library, a notebook can become quite large and be organized into many cells representing each logical segment of the project. Jupyter works well for this use case except when an unexpected error occurs in a large notebook.

Also proposed and discussed in: #8714 (except for the hotkey part) and #5790.

Just FYI, it seems the latest release has a new feature where a red icon appears in the table of contents. If you click on it, it takes you to the start of the section containing the failed cell. While not exactly a 'jump to failed cell' button, it's a huge help.
