Aug 4, 2017 at 13:32 comment added Pharap @AnonymousPenguin I know I'm late to the party (as usual) but there's a setting on the Arduino IDE called 'use external editor' that blocks you from editing in the IDE and lets you use an external program (e.g. notepad++) to edit your code, and then you just use the IDE for compiling and uploading. Also creating the .cpp in the directory it's supposed to be in works too if you reboot the IDE afterwards. (These are the sorts of terrible problems you get when you target a tool for programming circuits at non-programmers.)
Aug 7, 2014 at 15:02 comment added Anonymous Penguin ...well thanks for the penguin! :) Anyway, there doesn't seem to be an ideal situation. I think I'm going to use the naming rule [in my answer] for my main GitHub code and then just rename and move the .ino` file to an "examples" folder when making a release... that way users can get the best of both worlds.
Aug 7, 2014 at 14:38 comment added geometrikal I forgot to add i'm in the same situation - writing code that others might have to maintain using the Arduino IDE. I never thought to including an ino file in there, so thanks for the question.

Aug 7, 2014 at 14:27 comment added Anonymous Penguin +1 for that penguin :) Anyway, I still need the compile with the Arduino IDE, so I don't know if a third party IDE would really work...
