Added Hidden Apps to Actions Menu#266
Conversation

Thanks for contributing and sorry about the late response. This feature and similar features were previously discussed (see e.g. #226, #195, #141). However, the idea of the hidden apps feature is to get non-removable bloatware out of the way for people stuck with junk ROMs (see #15), so I don't really see why this feature would be needed. Moreover, if something like this feature is implemented I think it would be better to do that as part of the proposed more general tags feature (#84). |

I could see how this feature would be helpful in the edge case where you have tons of apps, have a subset that you rarely use but still need to access on occasion. With the current implementation of hidden apps, you simply cannot access them unless you open the launcher settings>LAUNCHER>Apps>Hidden Apps. This is extremely inefficient and the proposed solution would make this much more accessible and useful. I ran into this exact edge case myself the other day: I don't see how it hurts anything by adding it, other than increasing the number of customizations users can do to help them GTD, which is arguably why they love the launcher so much. If you'll merge it, I can help with getting it mergeable into the current main branch if necessary. Thanks for considering. |
With those changes, users are now able to access the hidden apps list without opening the settings menu, by attaching the added action to a gesture
