@davee Also no Dialog Box with MacOS, so it is likely a common documentation error. From the web page, print using whatever technique you are familiar with; I simply use Cmd-P. In Windows and *nix, I think that is Ctl-P.

Hi Ron (@zander),

Thanks for this find ... a useful fix for an annoying hole in VS Code baseline capability.

---------------

A trivial thing I noticed, when following through the instructions for Linux (Ubuntu), whilst using Firefox as browser.

The Printing Sketches, includes "The sketch file will now be rendered as a webpage in your browser and a print dialog will open."

It renders the webpage, but I have yet to see a print dialog box, at this point. Of course, being a web page, I can simply go to "Print" in the browser command list, and print the page in the usual way, so it is only a discrepancy with the instructions, not a problem.

I just note it, in case it confuses someone else.

Whether it applies to other operating systems, browsers, etc., I have no idea.

------------------

Once again, Thanks Ron, I hope you are keeping well.

The new IDE does not have a tool for printing your sketch. However, here is an extension that works quite well. If the link doesn't automatically take you there, it is post #18.
