Description

Add a toggle to disable "swipe to refresh" and enable the home screen button in the top right corner(as in the screenshot). And also for this button to cancel the search if it is in progress. That would be very helpful

Research direction
Explore the current swipe to refresh implementation in the Obtainium Flutter codebase (likely in the home screen widget). Look for existing settings or toggles (e.g., in a settings screen or preferences). The feature requires adding a toggle to disable swipe to refresh and adding a home screen button that cancels search. Investigate how the app handles search cancellation and refresh gestures. Check if there is a settings provider or state management approach (e.g., Provider or Riverpod) to add the toggle. The UI change involves adding an icon button in the top right corner that triggers a refresh and cancels search. The issue's screenshot shows a suggested button location. No linked PRs or comments exist; the maintainer has not provided guidance, so the contributor may need to infer the design from the app's existing patterns.
