I use
mu
with several different CircuitPython devices. If I have the 'serial connection' open while changing devicesmu
pops up a modal dialog to inform me that it could not find a serial device. I have to dispatch this dialog before I can continue usingmu
.I would like to have the option do disable the dialog, so that it never appears.
Common scenarios:
Less common scenario:
If I have a bad USB cable or a troublesome board that will drop the connection unexpectedly I may want a more intrusive notification when the serial connection is lost. Even so, a temporary message would be better than a modal dialog. I can tell from the 'chip' icon in the status bar that the device is no longer connected.
Proposed solution:
Replace the modal dialog with a 'banner' at the top of the edit pane. Perhaps the banner would disappear after a set time, or the user could click to clear it. It would not require user interaction, so I can just close
mu
without addressing the banner message.Please consider replacing the modal dialog with a less intrusive notification method, or adding an option to disable it.
