Notebook icon: Run in Section

[Yoyokrazy]

Is your icon request related to a problem? Please describe.

• We are introducing new functionality to notebooks for Run Cells in Section, and Fold Section. This will come with a toolbar in the outline view, allowing users to execute and fold cells from that view pane.

Describe the solution you'd like

• A new icon for Run in Section, clearly distinguishing it from "Execute cell and below" and "Execute Cell and dependencies".

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Not rendering an icon as the primary action, and keeping both actions in the secondary overflow menu (decreasing discoverability, though there will still be the dots showing up which users haven't seen before)

Additional context Picture of outline view in a notebook. The markdown header is focused with the primary action Run Cells in Section, and secondary action Fold Section. The outline entry for the code cell is being hovered over.

Hover description:

Execute Cell and Below:

Run with Dependencies codicon:

Potential thought for new icon. In my mind, sections/groupings are often designated with indentation, and they are in the outline pane specifically.

For folding we have map and map-filled:

I'm also adding a rotated version for cases where that makes more conceptual sense.

Instead of introducing a new concept, how about using the run-all icon? This makes in the group headers of the Outline view. Is this the only place the action will appear?

At a glance, I think the vanilla run icon is actually fine here since it's placed on the section header. Not sure a variant will really move the needle. We could try that first and see if it needs a more specific icon?
