Converting some radio buttons from O to (xxx)

English Applications
#1

With my gnome use, I gain up to 9 radio buttons, when I click on the display “[all]” button.
What I get presented to me is the initial screen with the 9 radio buttons on the right side.
Currently, if the program / application is not in the frequent list, I have to do a binary search
of the right side radio buttons to locate the application I wish to launch.

What I would like to do is replace the right side radio buttons with a lozenge each of which has
between the ( and the ), the first three characters of the application for that page of output.
in other words, as an example.
O → (aaa)
O → (gim)
…
O->(zzz)
aaa is the very first application displayed on page 1
gim is the next application displayed on page2
etc.

Is a gnome extension the right way to approach this enhancement?
