Use dedent instead of literal de-indented strings

[ZLLentz]

Expected Behavior

Code should be easy to read and tabbed appropriately for general stylistic optimization and so that python editors can parse it properly.

Current Behavior

There are several instances in the code that look like:

    def some_method():

        <...snip...>

        return f"""\
{name}: Target {target_state_num} {target_state} [{composition}]
Target Position: {target_pos} [{t_units}]
{diode_type}Diode Position(x, y): \
{x_motor_pos}, {y_motor_pos} [{d_units}]
"""

With the intention being that when the text is printed, it is printed without any leading tabbing.

Possible Solution

Another way to accomplish this is:

import textwrap

<...snip...>

    def some_method():

        <...snip...>

        return textwrap.dedent(
            f"""
            {name}: Target {target_state_num} {target_state} [{composition}]
            Target Position: {target_pos} [{t_units}]
            {diode_type}Diode Position(x, y): \
            {x_motor_pos}, {y_motor_pos} [{d_units}]
            """.lstrip()

Context

My vim folds poorly and in vscode it looks odd

dedent(...).lstrip() to keep the meaning of the leading \
