Alphabet scrolling options (left/right)

Feature Request

It'd be nice if there was an option to customize scrolling through the app list to limit it to one side or the other. Currently, scrolling up and down on both the left and right side of the screen activates the app scrolling view, which makes sense as the default setting from an accessibility perspective, but it means I keep accidentally pulling up the app list when I mean to do something else.

I’d appreciate a setting where the app list would only come up if I swiped on the right side of my screen, where the alphabet is located. I understand it's been determined as not impactful already based on this article

https://feedback.niagaralauncher.com/en/help/articles/8372907-left-hand-mode but the section about disabling the invisible left hand alphabet is focused on accidental screen touches, and I have noticed it come up even during the course of regular usage, like opening a pop up folder swiping up for the search bar. Thanks!!

    Left side alphabetic scroll disabling option

    I want to use blank space next to the app icon as a space to interact with my KLWP

    Using the whole blank space like a sidebar will solve a huge problem when using klwp with my niagara pro

      Thanks for the suggestion! The same option is already being tracked here: Alphabet scrolling options (left/right), which asks for a setting that lets the app list open only from the side the alphabet is on.

      Upvoting that post is the best way to push it, since we go through requests roughly by upvotes, and you'll be notified when its status changes.

      Your reason is worth adding as a comment over there: that post argues from accidental touches, while "I want the left strip free so KLWP can use it as a sidebar" is a different case for the same setting, and the concrete use cases are what the team looks at.
