Hi,
in general I appreciate that the Arduino-IDE offers support for so many boards.
Anyway I'm using just a couple of boardtypes but not all 2^8 of them.
I'm using Arduino-IDE 1.8.12.
So is there any possability to remove list-entries of this very long list?
Can this list be re-arranged that some boards are sorted to a sub-menu "other-board"
Can I create a "favorite-list"?
best regards Stefan

I think you'll find this Arduino IDE plugin useful:
It takes advantage of a feature of the IDE that allows you to hide boards:

The way to accomplish this would be to create a custom boards platform that references the stock platform but only contains the subset of boards you like. You can learn about that here:

That could be the custom platform I mentioned (though you'll need to create a separate platform for each archtiecture, so if you're using multiple architectures then it probably won't do what you want.
What might be closer to what you seek is the "recently used boards" section of the Arduino IDE's Tools > Board menu, which is available in the beta build of the Arduino IDE:
There is even an enhanced version contributed by a community member:
but you'll need to build the IDE from source to try that one out.
Hi pert,
thank you so much for pointing me to the BoardSwitchTool
I followed the installation-guide which is beatiful detailed step by step and it works!
best regards Stefan
Yay! That is indeed a cool plugin. The Arduino community comes through just like always!
IDE 1.8.13 groups the boards in Tools menu
and for customized or preset boards I have
