Vscode-jupyter: Ctrl-Enter in Markdown cell is not rendering latex forumlae

[tbrodbeck]

Feature: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Python Editor cells

Hey, when pressing ^enter in a markdown cell containing a latex formula, nothing happens. It would be great if the formula would render!

Thank you for the suggestion @tbrodbeck!
This does work on the interactive window, but I did notice it doesn't on the notebook editor.
I'll change this from an enhancement to a bug and we'll get to it shortly.

There is a similar bug, I just found: When opening a markdown cell by clicking on its text, the cursor is always located on the very beginning of the cell instead of the location in the text I clicked.

Btw I really like that it is automatically rendered (even though the font does not change) when leaving a markdown cell. This behaviour is actually nicer than the default jupyter behaviour.

[DavidKutu]

I think the reason it always goes to the beginning is because its rendered, so we go from rendered output to input. But maybe we can work that in. I'll create a separate issue.

This isn't working yet? Don't see a PR associated with it?

[DonJayamanne]

I think I assigned this to myself to ensure it works with the latest changes to markdow/code and updating model as we type.
I don't think i managed to get to this task.

[DonJayamanne]

Works for me.

[rchiodo]

This still doesn't work for me.

Steps to repro:

1. Open notebook
2. Add cell
3. change to markdown
4. Hit ctrl+enter.

Nothing happens.

Validated. This will be in the next release.
