Alphabet options

Consider the situation: you're in bed, lying on your front, phone in one hand to your side. You really don't want to move your hand from its wonderul position on your phone, but alas! The app you want to get to is halfway further up the alphabet than your tiny thumbs can reach.

Well, you get the idea. Reaching the extremities of the alphabet with one single thumb motion is difficult to impossible if you're holding your phone in one hand, depending on your phone and hand size.

To combat this and make it more accessible, particularly for users with smaller hands or larger phones, two options could be made available (ideally both).

Option one is an absolute/scroll alphabet toggle. At the moment, the alphabet is on absolute positioning: when you put your finger on G, you go to G. A toggle could be added to make the alphabet behave more like a scroll bar on a website on PC: When you tap a letter, you go there, but if you hold and scroll, it will allow you to scroll up and down through the alphabet from the position it's at already.

Option two is the ability to change alphabet height. I honestly don't know why this isn't already a feature, but it really should be.
