### Use case or problem

Ease of use and quicker more, efficient note creation, organisation and deletion.

### Proposed solution

Be able to swipe left/right on notes and folders in the file explorer to either delete or [customisable function] a note or folder.

It would be good to be able to hold and drag folders and notes around to nest them within other folders.

### Current workaround (optional)

None
