@rudeb0t I was wondering if you see a use case where the port to upload and the port in serial monitoring could be different ? I was thinking of having the port for upload and serial monitor to be the same,

On macOS this is the case. /dev/cu.* is where you upload and /dev/tty.* is where you connect to the serial port. Initially I had it set up to use the same port /dev/cu.SLAB_USBtoUART for both upload and serial monitor. Whenever I upload a sketch, the serial monitor fails to connect to the port saying it's not connected to the device. After a bit of searching, I found this where it says /dev/cu.* and /dev/tty.* are different things. The subtle difference is /dev/cu.* does not wait for CDC and this causes the vscode serial monitor extension to fail to connect to it saying the device is not connected. The /dev/cu.* ports are also not listed in the dropdown in the extension:

And so even though it's more work, I added a separate serial monitor port field.

That makes sense, thanks for the explanation.
