Add Option to Always Show the Selection Rail

📋 Summary

Add an option to keep the selection rail visible in the main game view instead of only showing it on hover.


❗ Problem

The new selection rail is useful for quickly jumping through games based on the current “Arrange By” setting, such as jumping to a letter when arranged by title.

However, requiring the user to hover in a specific area before the rail appears can feel clunky, especially for users who rely on it frequently.


💡 Proposal

Add a setting to always show the selection rail in the main game view.

Users who prefer the current cleaner layout could keep the hover behavior, while users who want faster access could enable the rail permanently.


🧩 Use Cases

  • Quickly jump to a letter when arranged by title

  • Keep navigation controls visible in large libraries

  • Reduce extra mouse movement when browsing

  • Make the rail easier to discover and use


📦 Benefits

  • Improves usability for large collections

  • Makes the selection rail more accessible

  • Gives users more control over the main view layout

  • Reduces friction for frequent rail users


⚠️ Considerations

This should be optional so users who prefer a cleaner interface can keep the current hover-based behavior.
