Espressif IDE - how to run menuconfig?

Dear,
I am using the Espressif IDE for the ESP-IDF, hence no other IDE such as Arduino, Visual Studio Code, Platform IO, Eclipse etc.
I find it very convenient to install the Espressif IDE for the ESP IDF. It is a single action.

However, how do I run menuconfig within Espressif IDE? Is there a button or menu item for that?

Do I have to invoke the ESP-IDF prompt, change directory the my project and then run idf.py menuconfig? That approach is heavy, while a button within Espressif IDE would be elegant and much preferred.

Regards,
Jorgen

PS. I have asked the same question in the IDEs for ESP-IDF forum, but that was probably wrong. Sorry.

Hi,

Thank you for your appreciation.
You can simply double click the sdkconfig in the project explorer it will open it in a specific editor and it contains all the menuconfig options in a user friendly editor.

Feel free to reach out if you need any more help.
