A community member just tweeted about how he couldn't editor code in the
Arduino IDE. I knew it was immediately the external editor preference, but he
had forgot it was enabled. The dimmed code can be misleading if one forgets
that external editor is enabled ...
Currently the code is read-only when external editor is toggled, but perhaps
the IDE should display a message some place? Like "read-only mode" text?
I'm under impression that locking the code in read-only state in the IDE is to
prevent versioning issues with two potential editors ... Would it also be
possible to leave the arduino IDE code area editable ... but detect for
external changes by another editor and pop up a message confirming to
overwrite? or inform the user of external changes.
I guess those are two approaches ...Again, it's a silly problem. I wouldn't
classify this as a bug, but a reminder feature. ;)
There's a simple fix and a more complex one (I think).
