Just thought I’d share a helpful time-saver…
I often type the same two commands while coding in the Arduino IDE while researching issues to display values in the serial monitor. I always have it display the variable name followed by the value stored in that variable. I start by typing:
Serial.print(“: “); Serial.println();
Then I paste the variable name into both of them:
Serial.print(“adc_value: “); Serial.println(adc_value);
Sometimes several variables need to be displayed, then I have to copy/paste the line.
I checked the IDE keyboard shortcut list, and found that CTL-SHIFT-0 was not being used, so I created a “Shortcut” to insert Serial.print(“: “); Serial.println(); when I press CTL-SHIFT-0. It’s just something that saves a little time and makes using the IDE a more enjoyable experience.
I downloaded the Power Toys app from the Microsoft Store, fired it up, and navigated to:
PowerToys Settings > Input & Output > Keyboard Manager > Shortcuts > Remap a shortcut
