I miss my separate Serial Monitor window!

Development Tools IDE 2.x

I miss my separate Serial Monitor window in Arduino IDE version 2.2.0! I can not do it. This is not very practical.
Something for the new version?

Nothing to stop you using a separate serial terminal ...

It has been raised before. The workaround is to open a second sketch (can be a new one) and use the same serial port as for the sketch that you're working on. The serial monitor in the second sketch can be sized to (nearly) the size of the second IDE instance.

Except for inconvenience during upload :wink:

IDE 2.2 says:

Add advanced setting for moving Serial Monitor to the right panel

arduino/arduino-ide#2102

By default, the Serial Monitor is located in the bottom panel of the Arduino IDE window, below the editor panel. Some users may find their screen real estate is more effectively used by a layout that places the editor panel side-by-side with the Serial Monitor. It is now possible to select the location of the Serial Monitor via the Arduino IDE advanced settings:

  1. Press the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) to open the "Command Palette".
    A menu will appear on the editor toolbar.
  2. Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command from the menu.
    A "Preferences" tab will open in the Arduino IDE main panel.
  3. Type arduino.monitor.dockPanel in the "Search Settings" field of the "Preferences" tab.
  4. Select "right" from the menu under the "Arduino › Monitor: Dock Panel" setting.
  5. Close the Preferences tab by clicking its X icon.

Thanks for the good and clear solution.
