Niagara Button (Requestion additional swipe gestures)

Hi Team, first of all i just want to say, good job on creating such an awesome and usefull tool, im enjoying using it so far!

I’m a new user to the world of Android launchers, and I’ve found Niagara’s minimalist approach incredibly refreshing. However, as I’ve integrated it into my daily workflow, I’ve run into a bit of a hurdle that I believe many others might share.

​While I love the clean aesthetic of having only 8 favorites on my screen, I find myself constantly needing quick access to more than just those core apps, things like translation tools, email for verification codes, or search functions. Constantly jumping into the alphabet scroll or search bar for these frequent "utility" tasks starts to defeat the purpose of the launcher's speed and efficiency.

​I’ve found the Niagara Button to be a brilliant solution, but its current limitation of only two assignments (tap and swipe) feels a bit restrictive. It would be much more convenient if the button could support more actions, perhaps up to five different apps or shortcuts.

I would like to ask if it will be possible to expand the Niagara Button’s functionality in a future update? This could be implemented through adding additional Swipe gestures like swipe up, down, and left/right to trigger different apps, along with the "tap/press" option (that's already an existing feature)

​This change would allow users, like myself, to maintain a strictly minimalist home screen while still having "instant access" to a wider range of essential tools. Not sure if I'm the only one who had this issue, but it would be a really helpful feature to have in future updates.

​Thank you for the incredible work you’ve done on the launcher so far, i am enjoying using the app so far. I look forward to seeing how the app continues to evolve!
