Disable Swipe down gesture and edge gesture

Feature Request

I dont know how much I enjoyed this launcher. But paralleley I feel frustration whenever

  • I swipe down accidently and see notification panel, I never wanted to see as niagra homescreen show me all the notification

  • Second problem arise to move this panel up

Another is edge gesture

  • I am browsing incon notification using > icon press. And accidently I see app drawer, I never wanted to see as I have all in my home screen.

  • Second problem is many left swipe to remove it

So please nigra consider my request. You can assign same edge gesture for drawer to niagra as fallback when someone disable edge app drawer

Please. Support. To make it live

    Thanks for writing up both of these. On the swipe down: that gesture opens Android's notification tray from anywhere in Niagara, and there is a stated position on making it optional, in Notification Gesture. The same article has the tip against triggering it by accident while you scroll your favorites: keep your finger down when you want to scroll, and use long swipes when you actually want the notifications.

    On the app list appearing from the screen edge: that is the alphabet, which also works invisibly on the left edge, and Left Hand Mode explains why there is no toggle to switch it off (the team's view is that accidental edge touches belong to the system's palm rejection, with a Samsung helper app named as an example). The wish to limit the app list to the side where the alphabet is visible is collected here: Alphabet scrolling options (left/right).

    That is the current stance rather than a verdict on your post, the team decides here. Upvoting that post is the most direct thing you can do, since we work through requests roughly by upvotes.
