General • Re: Serial Monitor missing from VScode Pico extension.

Be sure to mention you are using VS Codium and not VS Code when posting questions.

People still don't take notice even when I do!
There is not a specific VScodium PICO extension so it should not matter. I had assumed the serial monitor was part of the extension not a separate extension, that was the problem

PeterO.

I will notice. It does in fact matter to mention these details since the Pico extension automatically loads some 3rd party extensions, and some are Microsoft branded. Bottom line, anything Microsoft created will not work woth VS Codium. It's too bad somewhat, but it's all or nothing.

What are you using to see code comments in SDK libraries? I can hover and see the comments, then hokd ctrl and mouse click to jump to the source file and function definition (or macro, or enumeration, etc.). On my Linux it came with clangd always running so even using the text editor Kate, it shows warnings and definitions.

Or are you just using it as a text editor, CMake handler, etc.? Debug?

Just curious what you use?
