Hi everyone, My first post so hope I get it right 🙂 I have just replaced my ageing 'mancave PC' and I am loading all the software that I use. I have decided to replace the Arduino IDE with Platform IO and, so far, it looks very good. I seem to have one problem where the solution is evading me. I want to print the source code for my projects but can't seem to find any print options in any of the menus. I tried the select all/copy/paste route but due to the dark theme I use the results were rubbish. Does anyone know how to print the source code via Platform IO (or have I missed the obvious?) or do I just have to locate the .CCP file and copy it to a text editor? Many thanks, Derek

There are several 'print' extensions for VSC, and the following looks promising and I give a link. I presume it would also work with VSC when using the platformIO extension. Can but give it a try. 😀 (go into the VSC extensions and search for 'print')

Personally I don't find a need to print out my programs and prefer to use a large monitor so I've not actually tried any of the print extensions for myself.

Many thanks Byron I will give it a go. I prefer the paper print because it's easier to write on than the monitor ☺️☺️

And all that whiteout on the screen makes it hard to see other things when you try to view them! 😆
