Feature Request: Gesture / Action Binding for Custom Search & System Shortcuts

Hi Niagara Team,

I am a big fan of Niagara Launcher's clean, minimalist design, but I ran into a usability limitation regarding system search integration (such as Google Lens / Circle to Search) when using third-party launchers.

The Problem:

On stock launchers, invoking system-level search tools like Circle to Search relies on holding down the home button or navigation handle. When using Niagara Launcher, system gesture overrides can conflict with or disable these native triggers. Additionally, remapping the hardware power button in Android system settings often launches the default Google Assistant interface rather than triggering a visual/screen search action.

Suggested Feature / Solution:

It would be fantastic if Niagara Launcher could introduce:

Custom Action Triggers: An option within Niagara’s gesture/button settings to trigger system search utilities (e.g., Google Lens, Circle to Search, or custom intent actions).

Custom Swipe / Button Integration: The ability to bind a custom swipe gesture on the home screen or add a dedicated action button directly to the Niagara Favorites list to invoke these tools smoothly.

This addition would allow users to enjoy Niagara's minimal interface without sacrificing quick access to modern AI and visual search tools.

Thank you for your hard work on this launcher!

Best regards, [GRIMSCYTHE]
