Description

Currently, assigning executable to a button requires providing full path to used executable, it would be convenient to check also places like /bin/ to check if used executable exists instead of asking user about providing full path.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a function to check if an executable exists in directories listed in the $PATH environment variable. Update the executable assignment UI to call this function first, falling back to full path input if not found.
