How to show all Tools settings *in the menu*?

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Windows 10, IDE 2.0.2, first time user (aka noob :-)) ....

I've seen a few folks post screenshots of the Tools menu where the current settings are displayed in the menu, example: Is it possible to save and restore the Arduino IDE "Tools" settings somehow? - Arduino Stack Exchange

My menu doesn't do this, I have to go into every submenu to see what the setting is:

This makes it hard to both share my settings and to compare them against someone else's.
Is there a setting I'm missing or is the feature not in 2.0.2?

Thanks, m

Hi @matterbury. The screenshots were from Arduino IDE 1.x. The Arduino IDE 2.x Tools menu does not currently show the selection of these submenus and there is no way to configure the IDE to show it. So the only way you could do it is to install Arduino IDE 1.8.19, which is probably more effort than its worth.

The Arduino IDE developers are tracking this deficiency here:

Thanks. Very sad that is 18 months old without action.
