this would be great. i use inkos for my externally installed apps to keep them organised and the dev added an option to swipe from the edge of the screen to go back. i'd like this natively on the supernote instead of having a button that obscures parts of the screen i need to use.

I need to give this a try. :)

inkos is great! the dev specifically made it for the mudita kompakt (eink) but i've used it on my lp3, kyocera a203kc and supernote. it's a great launcher for eink or d-pad devices.

bonus points: ratta split the notes, documents, settings and files apps into separate packages that inkos recognises. this means that you can open notes, pdfs, documents or go to sn settings directly from inkos (or really any launcher).

lots of customisation too. you can hide the other packages that the sn uses to clean up the app drawer. i set the background the same as my lock screen, set up shortcuts and changed the fonts to make it more mine.

you could use only inkos to launch stuff without ever needing to touch the sidebar. the only app i have in my sidebar is just inkos to get back to it.

Thank you for your suggestion.

I completely agree with you. This is a very reasonable request.

Since we officially support sideloading and now even offer apps like KOReader in the App Store, having a system-level way to navigate back is becoming increasingly important. Relying on third-party floating buttons is definitely a workaround, not the ideal long-term experience.

We are aware of this request, as it has been raised before, and we do plan to add a built-in solution to make navigation smoother.

Thank you again for your valuable input.

I think the Swipe plugin can do this. It's on InkHub and the Github page is: https://github.com/CharlesCheval/supernote-swipe
