How to better manage 10 radio buttons on the ALL window

[Leslie S Satenstein <lsatenstein yahoo com>]

My desktop has 4 users. My wife, my daughter, my grandchildren and I each use the two desktop systems that I setup equally.

Each ALL window has 10 radio buttons where each page refers to 24 applications. When I want to browse the icons for a program whose name I forgot, I type the first letter in the search box hoping I am right. 

To help and to improve gnome ALL window presentation, "please", "please", "please" replace the radio button with a button able to support two or three characters. On each button, indicate the beginning characters of the icon name that appears on the top left corner.

Currently, I proceed to radio button 5, and check if I have to go towards button one, or towards button 10. With the two or three letters in place of the radio button, I could proceed to directly to button 3.   

After a few hours of Gnome use, my forefinger muscle is in pain from performing left mouse clicks. A second request is to try to provide "Taskbar" as a permanent feature. With it, I avoid two extra mouse clicks and a painful right hand forefinger muscle / ligament. Gnome, in part,  is contributing to carpal pain with it's "click-click-click" design.
