UKHeliBob:
What, in your opinion, is the correct place ?
Can you put the code that you want to change in its own function and on its own tab in the IDE? If so, then within reason it won't matter where it is within the final code.
That really takes away the simplicity of copying the code block from the web-development platform in its entirety, and simply pasting it over ALL of the contents of that tab. If I then have to remake a function out of it, I'm gaining nothing.
According to RemoteXY instructions, this code block should precede void setup() and void loop(), but perhaps I'm stuck in old ways, having programmed (poorly) in BASIC so many years ago.
Here's what the block looks like, this is for a single pushbutton and 1 LED interface.....

}
But I just extract the middle part, enclosed in all those /////'s, and paste it over the block that is already in my sketch. I thought I would be able to just put this on its own tab, and use some sort of include.
It's straightforward, click-drag the source from the web-page, Ctrl-C, click drag the block I want to replace in my sketch, Ctrl-V. Just thought I might be able to eliminate one of those click-drags with a Ctrl-A.
This configurate block can get quite large, so click-dragging and scrolling can take a few precious seonds....
- even if some of my projects are. When I want to use code in a new project I just copy it from an older project.
