Vscode-arduino: Feature Request: Better GUI

Created on 3 Jul 2017 · 7Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-arduino

The GUI of Visual Studio Code is pretty limited.

Is there a way to implement

a dedicated Arduino menu, or
a floating tool-bar with some buttons for Build / Verify and Upload / Run?

A temporary solution I'm using is the Shortcut Menu Bar jerrygoyal.shortcut-menu-bar.

There was a verify and upload button added since this was filed. There are also newer options down in the bottom status bar. I'm closing based on age and that some of these UI suggestions have been taken. Please open a new issue with specific suggestions off the current release if you have additional feedback.

And... ? "Thank you for those specific pointers; as always, we're going to summarily ignore them, and summarily close any further requests pointing in the same direction"?
