        @cpcode

        And from Linux, you can use the caja file manager to get the remote file view. SSH window is normal

        Sublime text - like notepad++
        And vs code

            @sdetweil Thanks, this is perfect! I am set up with SFTP to the Pi and I can edit the remote files with VS Code on my machine. Haven’t tried SSH yet but hopefully that works well too.
            I’m good with old school HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, but have zero experience with anything Linux. This has been a great project to get my feet wet. I think in 3 or 4 more weeks I should be able to post some pics of my display here, it’s coming along.

              @cpcode don’t need sftp anymore

              Just edit direct thru window file manager. DoubleClick
              Editor opens file, save puts it back on pi.

                @cpcode said in Best way to develop from Windows machine:

                Use SSH with a text editor like VS Code (with the Remote - SSH extension) to edit files directly on the Pi. This avoids remote desktop issues and allows seamless file access and module development.
