Description

Let us know what functionality you'd like to see in Playwright and what your use case is

Record at Cursor is amazing feature but I think it can be better. What I think is running all tests codes including fixtures just before the cursor then users will not need to run themselves to add more test in the middle of tests. I am sure that it will be more efficient and new experience for writing tests since if there are so many tests just before the cursor, users will not use that feature but just run the test repeatedly.

Do you think others might benefit from this as well? Of course I do 😄

Please correct me if I misunderstood or have more better idea!
