Need help with text position (solved)

Yes, you can, here is how…

In your original post, click the “edit” pencil.
Select your code text.
“cut” the code text (CTRL-X)
Click the </> button
… at this point, do not click anywhere or move the cursor…
Paste (CTRL-V) the code text
Click “Save Edit” to save the edit.

The result with your code will look like this… (updated ```cpp) (further updated ```processing)

// === BASIC SETTINGS ===
import processing.serial.; // Import serial library for Arduino communication
import controlP5.; // Import ControlP5 library for GUI buttons and sliders

    int x = startX;
    int sy = y + i * 30;
    int val = servoDefaults.get(s);

    text(s + ": " + val + "°", x, sy);

    drawButton(x + 60, sy - 10, 30, 20, "-1", () -> changeDefault(s, -1));
    drawButton(x + 100, sy - 10, 30, 20, "0", () -> resetDefault(s));

  text(label, x + w / 2, y + h / 2);

  boolean inside = mouseX > x && mouseX < x + w && mouseY > y && mouseY < y + h;
  if (mousePressed && !wasMousePressed && inside) {
    action.run();
  }
}

// === SERVO VALUE CHANGERS ===
void changeDefault(String servo, int delta) {
  int current = servoDefaults.get(servo);
  int newVal = constrain(current + delta, 70, 110);
  servoDefaults.put(servo, newVal);
  myPort.write(servo + ":" + newVal + "\n");
  println("Default command: " + servo + ":" + newVal);
}

void resetDefault(String servo) {
  servoDefaults.put(servo, 90);
  myPort.write(servo + ":90\n");
  println("Reset default: " + servo + ":90");
}

I do not know why this code does not have highlighted keywords…
