Let serial monitor send newline by default #7029
Conversation
The serial.line_ending value was not present in the default preferences file, so the default was implicitly 0, meaning "No line ending". Since users often do not realize that they can even choose a line ending, and "no line ending" is only rarely useful, it seems better to default to sending a newline. Using both CR & NL would be more consistent with Stream.println on the Arduino side, but just sending a newline is probably easier to parse on the Arduino side.

Mmmhh, this is funny... The patch is already merged in master 🙂 as 98bd18e . Not sure why github is still allowing the merge. May I close it? |

Ah, that's probably a manual cherry-pick or rebase. I think github only detects manual merges if you push the exact same commit, not a rebased version of it. Great, so it's merged already, I'll close this one then. |
