Configure swipe up gesture to open search instead

[KorigamiK]

Right now there's no way to change the place where widgets are placed.
I need a way to swipe up to open search, and swipe left/right/down for seeing the widgets instead.

I came here to request this as well :) I'm used to swipe up to open an "app drawer" and it's a bit irritating that here it's the other way!

But all in all I'm liking Kvaesitso very much, Thanks!

@MM2-0 I would love to hear about the feasibility of this, this would be a perfect addition for the launcher I would want.

I'd love to contribute so feel free to explain how we would go about dong this :)

Pretty difficult. It would require a rewrite of major parts of the UI. Currently, there are two different scaffolds, pull down and pager. Scaffolds arrange the different parts of the launcher (search bar, search results, widgets), and handle gestures and animations between them. This is already pretty annoying because there is a lot of duplicate code. So instead of introducing a third scaffold, we should rewrite the entire thing and try to combine them into one single scaffold. This would also allow us to add a "no gesture" option.

Then there is the question what to do with the widgets? I guess the most sensible answer would be to keep the clock widget on the main screen and move all other widgets on a secondary page?

Yes I am able to see that the code for animation and gestures is very coupled.

I'd suggest having the widgets in another scaffold is alright and doesn't seem like a problem if I can scroll left or right to reveal them.

The search bar may expand to the search scaffold on gesture up.

Does it sound doable?

And having the ability to disable widgets entirely would be cool as well!

I've been using Kvaesitso for about a day now, so I'm probably a bit ignorant. I really like how the widgets are done here, I just wish I could get to them by swiping down/scrolling up (and so having swipe up free to get to the "app drawer")

I came to request the similar changes:

1. There should be function to add multiple (2 or 3) rows of favourites on homescreen which would be accessible without swipe gesture. (available along with clock).

2. Instead of "search/app drawer" gesture setting there should be swipe up and swipe down gestures where we can set swipe down as open notification/quick settings. And swipe up to open search/app drawer. There should be long press to edit homescreen (clock widget, favorites, wallpaper, etc).

3. swipe left and right can be set as (widgets screen), (news feed) or (notifications) etc.

4. There can be a native widget containing favourite quick setting shortcuts like wifi, bluetooth etc
