(Doc request) compiling in platformio - selecting build envs via dropdown

[softhack007]

afaik the "compiling from source code" page still suggest to change build_envs in platformIO.ini. This is not necessary any more when using VSCode.

• click on the small "folder" icon
• type part of the name you need, then you'll see a drop-down so select from it
• click on the checkmark icon for compiling
• click on the "plug" to start serial monitor
• click on "left arrow" for uploading firmware to your board

@dosipod can you help?

Alternatively, the list of "Project tasks" can be used.
Click on the alien face (platformIO). This shows a list of "Project tasks".
Find the build environment you need, open it (click on folder icon), then click on "build" or "upload and monitor"
