I thought Lawnchair died off a looong time ago, Glad to hear it's still going.

[–] barbara@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Wow. That's the most modern foss launcher

Doesn't support Firefox as a search provider for the sub-dock search bar, so DOA for me

[–] aleph@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

But ... Firefox is a browser, not a search engine?

Or do you mean you can't do a Google search via Firefox rather than using the Google search app?

[–] june@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Firefox supplies a search bar widget that then uses your Firefox search settings, and it's how I do things

See:

On Nova

Tapping it immediately opens Firefox in the search bar with the keyboard open, and allows me to use my search history, browser history, bookmarks, and search suggestions, all at once:

[–] aleph@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Ah gotcha. I suppose you could just disable the default dock search widget and manually add the Firefox one. Only downside is that it would have to be above the dock area.

[–] cyrus@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

You cannot put Firefox' search widget down there. That is the point they're making

I can't leave KISS launcher. I've tried.

Sadly, they use twitter, discord and telegram instead of matrix and fediverse.

[–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who is they? oh you mean Lawnchair developers, yeah its true. I have stopped using instagram, twitter, facebook but some services are really hard to dump because of real social circles specially boomers.

[–] barbara@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, and historic reasons are there as well. Lawnchair is no new project.

[–] Gamera8ID@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sadly, no "cover mode" option for folders.

[–] pathos@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You sure? I'm using Lawnchair right now and it has cover mode.
Unless they're removing it in v14 for some reason?

[–] barbara@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, sure

[–] emptyother@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

14? They've jumped from 2 to 14?

[–] doomkernel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Also known as The Gnome Move

[–] nfsu2@feddit.cl 4 points 2 years ago

They released dev builds which some contributors could fork, but no official release.

[–] cyrus@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

They've started basing the version number in Lawnchair off of the Stock Android Launcher versions they are basing on.

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I'm waiting for an F-Droid release
