Replace buttons with Apps

[jasonalsing]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have more than 4 frequently used apps.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to add a second Roku-Remote card, but since I don't need the "remote" functions I'd like the card to just be "apps". So using the current card layout I'd be able to put 18 more apps on a second card.

Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried just hiding the existing buttons to get at least 4 more apps but I end up with a card with just 4 apps and a lot of empty space since the buttons are merely hidden not removed. Seems a hassle to implement another "button only" card via other means when this card works beautifully for this I just need more shortcuts!

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Use:

• custom stack-in-card.js (allows merging cards with no borders and padding so looks like one card). https://github.com/custom-cards/stack-in-card
• the builtin button-card.js
• and this card.

Then in your dashboard view, create a stack-in-card and set it to vertical and turn off the border and padding. Then inside it create this card and then a button card below it, containing all the buttons and icons you need. Then you will have what you want. You can create a 2nd, 3rd whatever number of rows of buttons you want - just create another button card after each other but still inside the stack-in-card.

EASY ;)

Indeed I ended up doing just (almost) that, but instead of the button-card I used mini-media-player and set all the controls to hidden and only used the shortcut buttons since they're small and not set to a finite amount. With the stack-in-card it does look like a single element which is nice.

Would be nice to see this integration expanded to support more than 4 shortcut buttons as well.

I would like to do something similar - I would like to change the Info button for an app button. Is that possible?
