# App Drawer
|
||||
|
||||
Apps that are not needed all the time are shown in the app drawer.
|
||||
There are several such drawers, but the basic concept is the same.
|
||||
Besides regular apps, app drawers also show [pinned shortcuts](https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/shortcuts/creating-shortcuts)[^1].
|
||||
μLauncher treats apps and shortcuts in the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
The idea of the app drawer is to search for apps using the keyboard.
|
||||
By default[^2] an app is launched automatically once it is the only app matching the query.
|
||||
This can be prevented by typing space.
|
||||
Usually only two or three characters are needed which is much faster than scrolling to find an app.
|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: A pinned shortcut is created for example when pinning a website to the home screen.
|
||||
[^2]: There are [several settings](/docs/settings/#functionality) available to modify the behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
When long clicking an app, additional options are shown:
|
||||
* Rename the app
|
||||
* Add to / remove from Favorites: Adds the app to the [Favorite Apps](#favorite-apps) list or removes it from there.
|
||||
* Hide / Show: This hides the app from all drawers (except from [Hidden Apps](#hidden-apps)) or makes it visible again if it was hidden.
|
||||
* App Info: Opens the system settings page for the app.
|
||||
* Uninstall: Tries to uninstall the app or remove the shortcut.
|
||||
|
||||
## All Apps
|
||||
|
||||
This lists all apps except hidden apps.
|
||||
By default it is bound to `Swipe up`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Favorite Apps
|
||||
|
||||
Only shows favorite apps.
|
||||
Pressing the star icon on the bottom right of any app drawer toggles whether
|
||||
only favorite apps should be shown.
|
||||
Additionally the `Favorite Apps` action can be used to launch this drawer directly.
|
||||
By default it is bound to `Swipe up (left edge)`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Private Space
|
||||
|
||||
When [private space](/docs/profiles/#private-space) is available, this drawer
|
||||
shows only apps from the private space.
|
||||
It can be opened using the `Private Space` action.
|
||||
If the private space is locked, instead of showing the list the unlock dialog is shown.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, apps from the private space are shown in All Apps as well,
|
||||
however this is [configurable](/docs/settings/#hide-private-space-from-app-list).
|
||||
|
||||
## Hidden Apps
|
||||
|
||||
This list shows hidden apps.
|
||||
It is only accessible through the settings.
|
||||
The feature is intended to be used only for apps which are not needed at all but [can not be uninstalled](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bloat#Bloatware).
