Description

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

The new display off "All notes" view adds the category name to each line.
I don't use categories so I get something like this:
Image

The "uncategorised" colomn is actually bigger than the notes names, it's not nice.

Describe the solution you'd like

An option to disable the display of the category next to each note.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using the "Uncategorised" list in the menu does not work because notes are not sorted by date.

Additional context

It was introduced by: "feat(ui): indicate category in "All notes" view" https://github.com/nextcloud/notes/pull/1840

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR 1840, which introduced category names in the “All notes” view, and trace the related frontend entry points. Add a user-facing option to hide categories while keeping the existing “All notes” behavior and ordering intact; verify that the category is absent when disabled and present when enabled.
