Description
There is plenty of space in the buttons bar and a button to "download the output binary/hex file", "Reset target MCU" or something like "custom command" will come in handy when using external tools via a command line attached to a button in Arduino for automatising certain tasks.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by examining the Arduino IDE 1.x buttons bar and how its existing buttons trigger actions. Determine how user-defined buttons, binary/hex downloads, target MCU reset, and custom command-line tools should be configured and executed. Done means a defined, documented design and working behavior for the requested custom actions.
