Add option to easily change what library to add the component to #5

Hi, my Kicad Setup is the following:

main library -- symbols ---- resistors.kicad_sym ---- capacitors.kicad_sym -- footprints ---- standard.kicad_mod ---- ic_xx.kicad_mod ---- 3dmodels

I love using the GUI, but everytime I have to add a component, I need to go to settings and type the correct library name. Similar to Altium365 and adding components :)

Also, maybe a command log and a bigger font option would be nice.

Hi!

Font I have to check but that should be possible. Might need some additional setup.

As for the library: I see the usecase and I think it makes sense. Most useful option would probably be that you can give a semicolon seperated list of lib names which we then parse into a dropdown you can select in the main UI.

Does that make sense?
