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

[SteynGuelen]

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?

are you still interested and can give your thoughts on my proposal?
