Option to disable alphabet

Hello Niagara Launcher team,

First of all, many thanks for this awesome launcher.

I would like to suggest a feature: please add an option to disable alphabet.

There's already an option to hide it, but I would like to disable it completely.

The alphabet makes me waste time looking for an app to open next, even when I don't need to open any app.

I prefer thinking about the app I'm going to open, and then just search it by swiping up or tapping home in Android navigation bar, without the app exploration that the alphabet offers.

Basically, this would be a toogle in Niagara settings to disable the alphabet while keeping search, so users could spend less time using the screen, because they search directly what they need in favourite apps or specific search, without viewing all apps (I know they can be hidden, but you have to manually select each app, which is something else to improve by adding a “Select all” in hidden apps selection).

That would make this launcher perfect!

Thank you. Regards.

    I agree with this. I have a huge list of apps, and using alphabet is inefficient so I use the floating button with search bar. It is just unnecessary for my usage. Also, if i scroll too much at the right instead of moving my pinned/favorites it activates the alphabet.

    Please, it's so hard to use some widgets due to the alphabet. I search for all apps
