Creating a page to the left as well #32

Open TobiasDev opened 5 years ago

TobiasDev commented 5 years ago

I would love to be able to create a page to the left (rather than having to swipe twice to the right) like in NovaLauncher.

Eg. So I have my main page with all apps in the center. To the left I have my Todo widget. To the right I have my calendar widget.

I know this is probably a very specific workflow, but I would love to have this functionality.

It's not a specific workflow, it's a logical and intelligent one in my opinion: a default central screen (called when 'home' button is touched/pressed) with your main, often used shortcuts, then on every side of that, two screens attainable with only one gesture (swipe right or left) with (for example) widgets you occasionally but frequently enough use (for example calendar and todo list). Then the central default screen is attainable again with only one gesture. A must have in my opinion :) I'm disappointed this otherwise very nice launcher doesn't permit this.

In fact it seems to me that the only thing needed to implement that is an option allowing the user to choose which screen is to be considered 'default' (= the screen that should be displayed when 'home' is pressed).

So, I would suggest more... Possibility to create pages anywhere! Swap left, right, up and down, even diagonal swap!!! And a little sticked monitoring icon like a sqware with dots, and hilighted dot which displays where the main page! And possibility to set main(home) page.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will add this feature on version 0.6.2.

DI555 commented 5 years ago

Is it mine one , about creating also 'by up, down and diagonal swap for desktop/page' - planned in todo;)?

nostdex commented 5 years ago

Is this already implemented in v0.6.2b (build 3010, via f-droid)? Or do I just not find it?

And if I may add a related feature request: Could you extend swiping beyond the first/last page? So that if you swipe left on the last page to the next page, you'll end up on the first page and vice versa.
