Hi there, thanks for this great launcher. Been using it every day for the past 5 years and loving it! Thought it was time to give back ;-)
This is a use-case I personally have wanted for a while. In my case, I like having app shortcuts available in KISS for some apps, but not other apps. In particular, I've been wanting to get rid of the shortcuts from Spotify for a long time. This new feature makes that possible.

Possibly resolved issues:
The user can select which apps are allowed to display shortcuts using a new settings sub-page, using the existing
ExcludePreferenceScreen
. The excluded apps are stored in a StringSet in the SharedPreferences, in a similar way to how excluding apps from history works. Upon excluding / including an app, the shortcuts automatically refresh.Within 'Seach Settings', a new 'View or edit apps excluded from shortcuts' button has been added directly below the 'Shortcuts' switch. This button is added asynchronously:
Clicking that button brings you to this familiar UI:
Note that by default, no apps are excluded from showing shortcuts - not even KISS launcher itself.
The 'Shortcuts' switch still has ultimate power - if the switch is 'off', no shortcuts will show. If the switch is 'on', shortcuts will show for all the apps which aren't in the excluded list.
