#41345 I use vim with the IDE for compile and upload. Under File | Preferences there is a "Use external editor" option. When checked, the IDE editor goes to read-only mode. Edit using vim and save changes without exiting vim. Alt-Tab to the IDE window then press ^U to build and upload. Alt-Tab back to vim for more editing.
