Description

I'm often moving between projects and having to change serial settings.

If the serial settings were in a splash screen this would make life easier, i.e. click on Serial Settings menu item, a new window opens up with all the board and port settings, click apply, window closes.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the current Serial Settings menu works and read the linked Arduino forum discussion for context. Done means the IDE opens a separate Serial Settings window from the menu, exposes the board and port settings, applies changes, and closes the window.
