cleanup/optimize code and squash some bugs (#12)

* cleanup/optimize code and squash some bugs

- change print_queue to use mp.assdraw
- change print_queue function to a toggle
- clean up duplicated code
- squash some bugs

* remove unused function

* make download async and update clipboard function to use mp command

- utilize mp.command_native and command_native_async
- download files in the background

* update default display_limit from 6 -> 10
