Description
In the source editor in VS Code, the button to run the code in a cell is visible whether the cursor is in the cell or not.
However, in the visual editor cursor must be in the cell for those buttons to be visible.
I think this is confusing because if you're not familiar with code cells, you might not know to click on them to reveal the buttons. I think the buttons should either always be visible, or at a minimum become visible when hovering over the cells (without the need to click on them).

Research direction
Reproduce the code-cell button behavior in the VS Code source editor and visual editor, using the screenshots as the expected context. Trace the visual editor's code-cell controls first; done means the run buttons are always visible or appear when hovering, without requiring the cursor to be in the cell.
