Serial Terminal with Character mode

Software IDE 2.x
1

The serial terminal could have a check box that, when enabled, sends the keystrokes as you type them instead of having to type and press Enter.

The Enter key would act as configured (Newline, Carriage Return, Both NL & CR). except that "No line ending" would have to be one of the 3.

If possible, there could also be a separate text box for local echo, or use the existing text box used for typing. Don´t forget destructive backspace...

If you want a real terminal emulator then why not use one ? I suggest that there are more pressing needs to addressed that tarting up the Serial monitor.

There are several free serial terminal programs. PuTTY, RealTerm and TerraTerm are a few.

coolTerm as well

Yes, there are many nice terminal programs around there, but if I use PuTTY, I have to...

  1. Switch to PuTTY
  2. Close the port
  3. Switch to to Arduino IDE
  4. Download
  5. Switch to PuTTY
  6. Open the port

And if I use Arduino Serial Terminal, this is all automatic - just press CTRL-U.

I just think it could have a character mode..

No need for translation, display HEX codes, ANSI/VT100 terminal emulation, color, automatic Zmodem download, scripts, ...
