Arduino IDE 2.0 migration: How can I set the default window Width and Length?

In the old IDE I could edit these settings in the "preferences.txt" file. In the IDE 2.0 there is no file.

So now every time I open a new window it creates a default window that I have to re-size!

I'm sure there is a settings file somewhere!

Thanks

Hi @chazlarduous.

Yes. You can edit the file directly, but I think everyone will prefer to use the GUI advanced settings interface provided by Arduino IDE 2.x instead. Instructions are provided here:

https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/blob/main/docs/advanced-usage.md#advanced-settings

Unfortunately I don't think there is currently any setting for the window size. There is an existing feature request for such a setting here:

If you have a GitHub account, you can subscribe to that issue to get notifications of any new developments related to this subject.

Thanks but we need the ability to edit and fix the open window size.
Currently the new sketch window opens too wide.
I need to set a default.

Simple fix - no solution.
