Description
I work with several devices (ESP32, ESP8266, ATMEGA168P based, ATMEGA328P based) and every time I need to compile for a different a one, I must select that particular device and manually change all the related options.
Would be good if I can just name and save each device complete configuration and later access it as a menu item in Tools menu so all options are set in a single step.
