Hi!
I recently needed to customize my UI layout, but I found it a bit tedious to modify position numbers directly. So I thought what if you could serialize the UI layout back to a string and put it into the clipboard, so you could adjust positions in WYSIWYG style and then just copy-paste the layout string to your config? So I implemented it. It was pretty convenient. Here is a demo:
copy-layout-to-clipboard-demo.mp4
It would be kinda cool if the layout string was automatically saved to the config, but I decided not to implement this because maybe the config is meant to be modified manually and it's rude for the program to mess with it, I dunno.
Please let me know if there are any problems with the approach. I'm ready to fix them. Feel free to reject this PR entirely if this is not how you want to approach this functionality.
Thank you again for making such a useful application! ❤️
