    Hey, CONTROL devs.

    Over the past month or so I’ve been making some small UI improvements to my local build of the software. Here’s what I have so far:

    1. Added a new menu item to the Open G-CODE dropdown to reload the last file. Helpful when you are making incremental changes to the gcode in an external tool. It is done in a way that can be converted to a toolbar button with a macro

    2. Fixed the onclick handlers for all menu items to cover the entire item instead of just the label. The current menus are inconsistent and can cause some clicks to get ignored

    3. Fixed the tool speed label. The value is just not displayed currently, even though there is a placeholder for it

    4. Remember the last port that was used and select it automatically in the next session. It doesn’t auto-connect, just selects it

    5. Fixed a bug in the Metro slider control that would leave the thumb in an arbitrary position when you drag quickly with the mouse
    Let me know if you’d like me to submit patches for any of these.

    Development conversations are best handled with issues/pulls on the github repo thanks. Seperate pulls per feature are recommended

    I tried publishing a branch with one of the simpler changes, but Git Hub tells me I don't have permissions.
    Do I need to be on the approved list? Sorry, I am not familiar with the proper etiquette.
