Title:
  [scopes] Request: Allow to navigate to favorite scopes by clicking the
  dot

Bug description:
  Currently favorite scopes are ordered in a certain way, and indicated
  by a small dot below the header. In case a scope is activated the dot
  turns grey.

  To move from the first scope (e.g. today) to for example the sixth (e.g. twitter) one can
  a) slight through (1->2->3->4->5->6) which takes 5 actions, and is pretty time consuming, since some scopes load slow
  b) use the bottom up gesture and look for the scope wanted and click on it. This is much faster and takes only two actions.

  However the dots, lead the average user to take option a) because the
  dots indicate a left to right movement to switch scopes. Also by using
  the b) option, the dots do not make much sense (because it doesn't
  matter whether you are at the third or fifth place in the favorite
  list)

  Suggested Behavior
  ================
  The dots should be clickable as shortlinks to each favorite scope. 

  This would:
  1. Speed up the process of switching, may be even in the case that one has to tap twice in order to get the right dot. (may be the margin between the dots could even be a bit bigger) 
  2. Give the dots an acutal function/meaning (despite to (mis)lead to inefficient left right swipes)
