	I'm working on a simple project with the SparkFun Pro Micro AtMega 32u4, emulating a keyboard. I wanted to reference the Keyboard library in my project but it was not available in the list of built in libraries, even though it was listed under Managed Libraries in VM Explorer. I ended up just copying the source code for Keyboard to my project folder.

	Which Visual Studio IDE? Where was the Keyboard library located?

	VS 2017 Library was located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\Keyboard

	In Visual Micro have you set the application to "Arduino 1.6-1.9" or "No IDE"?

	What is the fix to this problem? I tried creating another project that references the LUFA library and I'm encountering the same issue. The library manager shows it as being installed but the dropdown list of libraries does not show it. In fact the dropdown library list seems to be missing a bunch of libraries that are installed. Is there a path that I need include in a setting somewhere? When I bring up IDE Locations I get this unusable dialog box due to the fact that I'm using a high resolution laptop.

	Do the libraries have a library.properties text file in their folders? If so what is in architectures=?? I suspect the architectures= contains the wrong values. In that case Visual Micro should allow you to add the library #include(s) manually and the compile should work okay but they will not be shown in the libraries list. If you want to change architectures=?? to architectures=* then click Re-scan or restart the ide they should appear in the libraries list but if they are incompatible with your board that can't be helped.
