Formats cells using the `Black` uncompromising Python code formatter.

jupyterlab_formatblack

Formats cells using the Black uncompromising Python code formatter. This is quite a hacky solution that relies on the blackcellmagic extension by csurfer. It adds the command Format cell with Black which just

1. adds the text %%black to the top of the cell, and
2. runs the cell

You can add a keyboard shortcut by adding something like...

{
  "black:format-cell": {
    "command": "black:format-cell",
    "keys": ["F"],
    "selector": ".jp-Notebook:focus"
  }
}

... to the keyboard shortcuts in jupyterlab settings.
