Feature Request: Better GUI

[rei-vilo]

The GUI of Visual Studio Code is pretty limited.

Is there a way to implement

• a dedicated Arduino menu, or
• a floating tool-bar with some buttons for Build / Verify and Upload / Run?

@rei-vilo yes, VSCode have strict limit on GUI layout. it seems we could add some buttons on editor action bar. something like this

Good request, we will investigate how to improve the GUI.

A temporary solution I'm using is the Shortcut Menu Bar jerrygoyal.shortcut-menu-bar.

There was a verify and upload button added since this was filed. There are also newer options down in the bottom status bar. I'm closing based on age and that some of these UI suggestions have been taken. Please open a new issue with specific suggestions off the current release if you have additional feedback.
