   I was able to find a nice trick to make the connection process a lot easier though:

   Config

   ~/.bashrc

   source ~/.bash_aliases

   ~/.bash_aliases

   alias jl='$HOME/Repositories/ip/.venv/bin/jupyter-lab'

   Execution

   :let @+ = expand('%:p')

   jl 'pasted/full/file/path/that/was/copied/to/clipboard'

   :Neopyter sync current

   Good idea!
   I think we could add a new usercmd e.g. :Neopyter start ... which could start jupyter lab instance via jupyter lab ....

   In order to optimize workflow, add option to start jupyter lab process:

   require("neopyter").setup({
       jupyter = {
           auto_start = {
               enable = boolean, --- default false 
               exectuable_path = string|fun():string,
               args = {...}   -- the args your want pass to jupyter lab instance
           }
      }
   })

   But, how to find a ideal executable path of jupyter-lab in default case, include uv、system path、venv……？

   Could you give me more feedback about this proposal?

   @AbaoFromCUG you're right, it would need to be set by the user beforehand. It is also possible to register a kernel for Jupyter (which is then visible from jupyter kernelspec list: other plugins like jupynvim use this), but I don't know if that can work with Jupyter Lab, which is what this plugin supports (it won't work on Jupyter Notebook for example right?). This might be best done as a user script rather than as a feature: the plugin is already very good!
