Description

I often evaluate a whole bunch of cells one after the another and sometimes I accidentally run a cell I didn't mean to. It would be nice to have an interrupt all command to stop the currently running cell and prevent the subsequent cells from running.

Research direction

Start by tracing how notebook cells are queued and how the existing interrupt command reaches the running kernel. Define how an interrupt-all command should stop the current cell and prevent queued cells from executing, then add coverage for that behavior.
