Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I often encounter the issue that I delete a note when swiping it from the right screen edge to the left. This swipe is used to close the app on my android 14.
It is tedious, as I then have to delete the widget on my home screen and re-add it again with the previously deleted note (why I immediately restored of course).

Describe the solution you'd like

Add option to deactive swipe left in the overview of notes.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Make specific notes undeletable.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Android notes overview and its swipe-to-delete handling, then determine where a user preference belongs. Done means users can disable left-swipe deletion in the overview while deletion remains available when the option is enabled.
