Hi,  
I love using Processing.  
But I don’t like it that in order to share code among sketches I either have to copy paste files, or update and create a library.

So my question is:  
When I code in Visual Studio Code (I know how to set this up), is it possible to “import” a folder as an external library or something, but it is still changeable code, instead of a real library. So it just treats as if the external folder is in the same folder as the sketch?  
I can’t seem to find out of this is possible, or I am searching with the wrong keywords 😉

Thanks in advance!
