Customizable left/right swipe gestures
The one feature I'm missing from Niagara compared to other launchers I've tried is to be able to use left and right swipes to open specific apps or full screen widgets.
That allows for instant access to your preffered apps seamlessly without having to add them to or your favorites or find them in the app list /search.
Personally I used the swipes for my camera app and phone app. Tools I don't use very often so I don't want them taking up screen space byt at the same time I want them to be seamless to use when I want to.

Thanks, that's a clear use case: swiping left or right to open a chosen app or a full screen widget, like your camera and phone app. The closest existing post is More Gestures on Niagara Button, which asks for swipes left, right or down on the Niagara button. If swipes on the button would cover your shortcuts, upvoting there helps more; if you mean swiping anywhere on the home screen, this post stands on its own.
