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

often while debugging i need to remove cells from evaluation.  currently to do this i need to:

  1. if it is a markdown cell, convert it to a js cell
  2. open the cell
  3. select the content and comment it out

and to restore:

  1. if it was formally markdown cell, convert it from js back to markdown
  2. open the cell
  3. select the content and comment it in

throughout this process, i risk spurious edits.

Describe the solution you'd like

provide a way to disable/enable cells. disabling a cell would grey it out, lock editing, and remove it from evaluation.

Additional context

i might note that the ⌥-D shortcut is not occupied. :)
