TODO

• Code cleanup
• Fix clipped nozzle text (linux)

IMPROVEMENTS

• Added 2 new layout options Compact & List view. here is difference between scroll height

Stock   layout 27560px
Cover   layout 24127px (%10 less)
Compact layout 13859px (%50 less)
List    layout 7751px  (%70 less)

• Any regular key press focuses search bar. so you dont have to click it to type a keyword
• Search bar is first focus point
• Used sticky titlebars so vendor names always visible. that allowed to remove vendor names from printer cards
• Switched to centered design on printer cards for more cleaner look
• Added indeterminate / half checked look on checkbox. and replace all / none buttons with checkboxes on titlebars
• Added selected / total to titlebar. this area completely clickable to increase hitbox size of checkbox
• Added a "Create" button. thanks to @johnny-bit for idea
• Added information panel for each printer card. currently only nozzle information available
• Added sidebar for faster vendor selection. also it might be handy for future additions
• Added a lot of minor improvements for styling and layout

FIXES

• Added a function to sort vendors alphabetically. it was using an unordered list before
