Feature description

In the App Drawer, we have alphabet bar on the side allows quick navigation by tapping a specific letter.

Nothing changes visually excepts the side bar.

Why do you want this feature?

If I want to open GitHub, I can quickly press G and open it, R will scroll to apps like Reddit.

It makes navigating the App Drawer easier and faster.

Additional information

I'm bad at explaining, and my default launcher have this feature XOS Launcher. But for privacy reasons, I will blur the app list.

Hope it explains what I mean.
