What I'd have hoped for in 2.x

Software IDE 2.x
1

Well, the 2.x IDE is a thorough disappointment for me.. Still no autocomplete or member function listing, etc, and it's just one gigantic download that runs terribly slowly for what it is

What's REALLY annoying is the messages on compile fail that I have to click close every time

Hi @Rx7man. I'm sorry that this free open source software has not met your expectations.

Arduino IDE 2.x does indeed have autocomplete:

Which board do you have selected in Arduino IDE? I ask because there is a known limitation (which comes from the clangd C++ language server, not from Arduino IDE itself) that the language server-based features are not available when using the boards based on a microcontroller of the megaAVR 0-series (e.g., the ATmega4809 of the Nano Every and Uno WiFi Rev2):

And I'm still waiting for line numbers in the code box, gave up on asking.

OOPS, I was referring to the forum code box. :grimacing:

The IDE and it's ease of use is one of the selling points of your hardware. So it's not all free (I assume Arduino makes a buck when i buy something of theirs).
Also, does the Nano RP2040 Connect belong to the list of boards that doesn't support autocomplete? It's the only one I've been using with the new IDE and i haven't seen this function yet either.

Thanks in advance to any response.

ESP32 at the moment

I thought I tried scrolling but the option to enable it was one line further down.. I also just "upgraded" to Win11 and the themes don't show the scroll bars in a way that my minds catches.. I'll see how it works, thanks!

There is autocomplete for the Nano RP2040 Connect board.

Please try carefully following the tutorial here:

If you have any problems or questions while doing that, please let me know and I'll provide assistance.

The Arduino IDE developers are tracking this problem here:
