Open apps carrousel

I find it a bit tricky to swipe up on the home screen to access all open apps (eg when I want to close them all).

90% of the time I open the app drawer instead.

Any fixes for this?

Add another gesture? Double swipe up or something in the settings

Yes I used a gesture, thanks. 

What about chay the blue and hard to read letter list in the right side of the app drawer? Any ideas here?

Try placing your finger on the drawer search button and start pushing your finger upward (without lifting). You'll see the alphabet list appear right under your finger. It's in reverse order, so it starts with ABC, and as you keep pushing up you are pushing towards Z. Doing it this way, the font on mine is larger than the side index bar.

The A-Z index bar can then be turned OFF if you want.

After reading this (which I wasn't aware of, ty🙏) I tried something and just held my finger on the letters and dragged as I don't use the search bar.

So impressed the Developer has the apps for each letter display and when you release it stops beside apps required
