Hi @gilesp1729. Thanks for taking the time to submit an issue.

I see we already had a request for this at https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/1199, which has already been resolved by https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/commit/2a325a5b74a7ea80645cd2da74588f706292f4ff (https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/pull/2334).

The feature was added after the time of the Arduino IDE 2.3.2 release, so it is currently only available when using the nightly build of Arduino IDE:
