group/separate apps letters for better alphabet navigation

[cauerego]

my letter C and P are flooded. more than 9 apps in each, go below the screen when navigating through the alphabet scroll. there could simply be two C's and two P's on the list and the second one will go through the second part.

meanwhile, all other letters get less than 3 apps or so. lots with 1 app or even none.

granted, the zero letters don't even appear, so that's already optimized.

however, when M N O have altogether less than 5, they could all show the same "screen" with all their apps... except when touching O, the O would be on top or some way to highlight it.

Apps are sorted by usage to minimize the problem.

Maybe, it could be confusing though, since some letters would be grouped and others aren't.

yes it could be confusing. but it could also be quite neat.

very aware of the usage sorting under the full list. even suggested an improvement for it, as you may recall... i just can't find where, so i created a new one! :) #465

To better plan ahead and to give users an estimate which features will be added to Niagara, I’ve decided to close all feature requests that that are unlikely to be implemented in the next year (2020). This is one of those, unfortunately. I'm sorry. Feel free to open this ticket again in 2021 or later.

[cauerego]

"done" lol.

there's a good chance i'll open this again in 2021... beware! 😁

[8bitPit]

Fixed it 😉.

[cauerego]

well... just to say "i don't envision participating anymore"! 🥺

at least while it's closed source.

cheers! 😁😘
