Kernel Picker - Native Notebooks

[claudiaregio]

Kernel Picker Artifact:

Design/Location:

• Kernel picker to be moved to status bar in bottom left.
• Python Interpreter to be hidden for notebooks.
• Kernel picker and connection string to the right of it.

Experience:

• Kernel picker will be generated in status bar per notebook.

• Local: (local white connected icon)

• Remote:

1. If custom display string available, display (remote: custom string white connected icon)
   https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/12988
2. If no custom display available, display (remote white connected icon)
3. When hovering over the remote string, hover tip to display full url.

• Clicking the kernel picker will result in quick pick menu options.
• When new option selected, kernel picker to update.

It would be ideal if users can click on the "Jupyter server: ..." label in the new UI to invoke the "Python: Specify local or remote Jupyter server for connections" command.

However, we should not have to reload VS Code. Else it seems broken.
I.e. if you click on an icon in the UI and then are expected to re-load VSC, then it should be a command (command can be non-editor specific)
Or we should fix the code that requires users to reload VSCode.

Agreed - I was under the impression that this was a problem because of the lack of custom editor support but that it would be fixed with the Native Notebooks work. I haven't tested it yet myself.

No custom editing support needs to reload for completely different reasons.
This is something we need to change in our extension, I believe.

Not sure what you mean by this.

@DonJayamanne is there any further clarification you needed from me re: this issue?
