Describe the request

I'd like to be able to allow at least more than 2000 rows of output area capacity, or allow manual setting to a larger value.

Describe the current behavior

By default, the "Output" view is configured to have a buffer size of 1000 lines.

When compiling a complex sketch, the verbose compilation output might exceed this length. In this case, the initial part of the output is lost. The lost output might contain valuable information and so this makes debugging very difficult.

Additional context

Workaround

  1. Press the Ctrl+Shift+P keyboard shortcut (Command+Shift+P for macOS users) to open the "Command Palette".
    A menu will appear on the editor toolbar:
    Command Palette
  2. Select the "Preferences: Open Settings (UI)" command from the menu.
    You can scroll down through the list of commands to find it or type the name in the field.
    A "Preferences" tab will open in the Arduino IDE main panel.
  3. Type output.maxChannelHistory in the "Search Settings" field of the "Preferences" tab.
  4. Enter the maximum number of output lines you would like in the field under the "Output: Max Channel History" setting.
  5. Close the Preferences tab by clicking its X icon.
