[Feature] Scroll further in app list for reachability

Open MaddyUnderStars opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

As in, when scrolling to the top of the list, there should be 50% screen height of scrollable padding so it's easier to reach the elements at the top of the screen.

Maybe this could be behind a settings flag.

The end result would be functionally the same as this Screenshot_20240513-182924.png

@MaddyUnderStars the feature you're mentioning is not part of the launcher, but Android. It can be enabled in Settings->Gestures (that is unless your phone manufacturer decided to hide it).

Please don't take what I'm about to say personally: people should do a minimum of effort before asking for features. A lot of requests either don't belong here, or they can already be achieved.

Screenshot from my phone, running GrapheneOS and Kvaesitso. It does exactly what you're asking for. Please close this request as completed.

Hi @derei, unfortunately I haven't quite communicated what I wanted very well! Yes, I'm aware of how to enable the feature, as I am the one who took the screenshot in my original issue.

My request is for extra padding in the launcher's app list to be added, so that the app list scrolls further down when you reach the top. Enabling android's native readability feature for this is fine, it's just slightly annoying.

Edit: if you don't believe this to be necessary or useful, feel free to close of course. But personally I would appreciate such a feature

If you need more reason than "slightly annoying", people whose phone manufacturers disable or don't have access to the native reachability feature in android may find this much more useful.

I'm not part of devs team. Just an user, like you. If that is not the feature you were looking for, perhaps a more clear explanation, ideally with some visual examples could help to make your point across? For example showing how is it now and how you'd want it to be.

My understanding so far, is that you'd like a similar feature like Android Native "one handed mode", but integrated in Kvaesitso? And if yes, what would be the argument to duplicate a feature that Android is already providing natively? Or is something else, and I misunderstood?
