I do a lot of plugging and un-plugging the same Arduino board over and over. Has anyone ever put a switch in a USB cable so I can just flip a switch instead of un-plugging and re-plugging the cable every time I want to stop and edit code. Is that even something you can do?

Yes, you can even buy them made up with a plug at one end of the cable and a socket at the other https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adafruit-USB-Cable-with-Switch/dp/B00KAE3F58

Can you put a switch in a USB cable?
