Description

Problem: as soon as I execute the current lin of code using ctrl+enter, the cursor automatically jumps to the next line.

Aim: allow for an option, e.g. using alt+enter, that the cursor does not move, i.e. remains at the same location it currently is, when executing the current line.

Of course, I tried several different user keybinding, but I somehow did not get it to work. ANY hint on how to achieve such behavior is much appreciated!

Research direction

No source file, command entry point, or test is identified. Start by reproducing the Ctrl+Enter behavior in Positron and locating the execution command's cursor handling; determine whether an alternate keybinding can preserve the current line. Done means the requested behavior is implemented and verified for the stated Windows setup.
