Execute a notebook cell with a SINGLE mouse-click?

Currently it takes two mouse-clicks to execute each cell in a DB notebook.

I know there is a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Enter) to execute the current cell

But is there a way to execute a cell with a single mouse-click?

I could use a greasemonkey script or Stylus snippet to modify the HTML client-side if needed.

Hi @Al Jo​ , My name is Kaniz, and I'm the technical moderator here. Great to meet you, and thanks for your question! Let's see if your peers in the community have an answer to your question first. Or else I will get back to you soon. Thanks.

Thanks. All I am looking for is a way to expand those three icons to appear on the toolbar itself instead of requiring a dropdown menu that eats up another click.

or at least the first button which is most frequently used

I am sure a simple tweak to JS/CSS or a setting that can be toggled on and off should allow this usability feature.

Please add this to the UI feature requests.
