@krassowski my hero! ha, seriously thanks a bunch! This not-being-able-to-unrender-specific-markdown-cells is a small thing, but every little bit can help with new folks.

I appreciate you getting me to a way to do this with how things currently are and saving me so much time looking for things myself 🙏

@krassowski thanks for the direction 👍 I'm doing individual jupyterlabs installed through conda on separate cloud instances. But i think the location noted there will work still, i'm trying things at: ${CONDA_PREFIX}/share/jupyter/lab/settings/overrides.json

Adding just this:

```
{
"showEditorForReadOnlyMarkdown" : false
}
```

Is getting through, but coming back with:

```
Failed loading overrides: 'bool' object has no attribute 'items'
```

I'm guessing i need to be more specific...

Thanks again, @krassowski :)

I posted an issue (https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/13929).

I was wondering if you knew if/how I can programmatically set the option we are currently changing as noted in the post you pointed me to (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75227302/preventing-markdown-cells-from-un-rendering-jupyter-showeditorforreadonlymark). Doing it jupyterlab-wide will work for my teaching stuff, but only if i figure out how to set it automatically. Can i just stick/change that setting in an appropriate file somewhere?

@krassowski oh great! Looks like it should work perfectly for me, thanks! And yea will do 👍

I hit another thing too, wondering if we can disable auto-completion/suggestions because I want to introduce shell tab-completion (in a notebook with bash kernel), but tab-ing is bringing up all kinds of things. I put a post here on the jupyter discourse: https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/disabling-tab-auto-complete-suggestions-in-jupyter-notebook-bash-kernel/17819

Thanks for your help!
