Alternate IDEs? or how to get more from the standard IDE ?

Hi!

I agree with previous posts. The Arduino IDE is great, simple and effective.

Because I'm dealing with many I2C sensors, I have as many libraries as sensors.

I'd like to have some niceties as symbols list and parameters suggestion to speed up my coding because I can't remember all the symbols and parameters.

Now, there's room for many options:

  • using an application only for editing and the Arduino IDE for compiling
  • using a fully integrated IDE for editing, building and uploading.

I didn't manage to get the Arduino > Preferences > Use external editor work correctly.

Any help is welcomed!
