    I can no longer switch users since my hands can’t reach that far and I no longer have the dexterity to play phone balancing due to my RSI. I have a LG G7 thinq with lineage, I have the button that was used for AI assistance set to click the top left corner since that’s fairly ubiquitous.

    That opens the right side tray. I can reach all of the stuff with one hand like this. I can no longer do this with the thunder bird UI.

      Ah yeah that sounds really frustrating. I’m sure you’ve tried this already, but does Lineage have support for the one-handed mode gesture? I’ve had that come in handy (no pun intended) now and then.

      I read somewhere that the Thunderbird team was working on fixes for the new drawer UI, here’s hoping they take better accessibility in mind!

        I do occasionally use the one-handed stuff but unfortunately my RSI means I have poor hand-eye coordination in general which means it’s also just really hard to use it like that anyways.

        I’ll go ahead and leave some feedback. I didn’t know they were planning on reworking again.

          I only have two accounts, but I can toggle between them by tapping the account name once the menu is open. That may also cycle through multiple accounts if you can reach that more comfortably.

            it is possible to use that worst case scenario, but that would be via double tap on button, and I have 8 accounts I need to monitor so that is still quite unergonomic
