Left hand mode - my brain works the other way around

First of all - I have read the rationale why a left hand mode is not planned to be implemented for Niagara launcher.

I like the clean look and simplicity of Niagara - no doubt about that.

I know that I can swipe on the left side of the apps to show the alphabet and select a character, but there are a few issues with that.

First issue when I swipe on the left side: Most of the time I don't hit the correct spot, because it's not visually indicated where the alphabet region actually is. And when I hit it, I don't have the nice link from the point I am touching with the character selected. If I am using the right side alphabet, the selection point changes with the finger tip movement left and right. This is super nice, but not there for the left side. This makes it harder to hit the right character on the left side compared to the right side.

Second issue: Even if I try hard, after 3 trials I am getting frustrated and use the alphabet on the right side. The problem with that is: My left hand is hiding the screen behind, so selecting the right character is quite hard.

So I am requesting this feature again as an option: Make a bit of space on the left side, move all app icons more to the right, and insert the alphabet in the empty space. Mirror the slide behaviour. That's it.

Thanks and please dear left handed community - up vote! +1
