The gestures kind of interfere with pulling it out - there’s angles it works at but more often I accidentally do the gesture instead of pulling out the quick remote.
Is there any way you can put a button on the toolbar (in tv/movies/files lists etc) to show the right drawer remote?
The official Google way is long press for those.
There’s no room for a button that would generate an overflow menu and so 2 of the actual buttons would be hidden there making things used more often less accessible.
