Hello,
First of all, thank you for developing EIDE. It is a very useful extension for embedded development.
I would like to request a new feature: User-Defined Custom Toolbar Buttons in the EIDE status bar area where the current Build and Flash buttons are displayed.
Current Situation
EIDE provides convenient Build and Flash buttons in the VS Code status bar. However, many embedded projects require additional project-specific actions such as:
Reset
OTA upload
Merge Hex,
Currently, these actions require opening terminals or running tasks manually.
Requested Feature
Allow users to define custom buttons in EIDE configuration.
Example:
customButtons:
name: Reset
icon: debug-restart
command: restart hardware cmd
name: OTA Upload
icon: upload
command: upload_ota.cmd
name: Merge
icon: merge
command: python merge.py
These buttons could appear next to:
Build | Flash | Reset | OTA Upload
Benefits
Faster development workflow
Better integration with custom manufacturing tools
Easier firmware deployment
Improved user experience
Useful for embedded and production environments
Optional Enhancements
Custom icons
Tooltip support
Per-target configuration (Debug/Release)
Visibility conditions
Ability to run VS Code Tasks or Shell Commands
Thank you for considering this feature.
