[FEATURE] Drawer-less mode

[rikumi]

Describe the feature

A drawer-less mode which not only hides the drawer completely, but also forces all icons to be displayed and arranged on the homescreen (unless manually hidden).

Why would it be useful to add?

Many users that came from iOS 13 and below, MIUI/HyperOS, etc. may like a drawer-less launcher instead of drawers to gain more control of app arrangement. However, no well-known third party launcher today provides this feature.

A drawer-less mode may not take much work to be added, which should mainly reuse the auto-add-to-homescreen code, and add a little logic to (re-)sync with the all apps and hidden apps list.

Switching between the drawer-less mode and the original mode can be simplified to just prompting for confirmation, (recommending a backup?), and resetting the homescreen arrangement totally.

Did the feature exist in Lawnchair v2? (Play Store version)

No

Example(s)

Lawndesk was a Lawnchair O/P fork to achieve this, whose codebase is now outdated and no longer maintained.
