Research direction
Look at the Coconut VS Code extension source code in the repository. Explore how cell execution is defined for other file types (e.g., .py with # %% comments) and whether there is existing handling for .coco files. The issue requests binding Cmd+Enter to execute the cell in .coco files. Investigate the extension's command palette and keybindings configuration to add support for .coco file cells. Check if there is a language mode for Coconut and modify the cell detection logic to recognize # %% in .coco files.
