Enables the proximity sensor and the camera button to be used as shortcuts

Allows the camera button (focus) and the proximity sensor (short and long touch) to be used to access dashboard, phone application and other functions. Useful with fullscreen applications and to quickly access phone. Configurable through the device's settings menu.

I use this app more times then i make a phone call on this thing. Very good indeed...

When your any where and need to your dashboard soft press on your camera button.

Recommended.. to every one.

I like the proximity sensor for dashboard. Downside on that one is when you use the phone as phone, it will be triggered by your ear.

Maybe it's possible to deactivate the sensor or action when a call is made.

Could anybody plz tell me the custom shell command to take a screenshot when hitting the proximity sensor?(ctrl+shift+p)

thank you, useful because the rotating command is not very efficient, so the camera button will be more easy to use.

Suggestion: it would be very useful if the proximity sensor allowed to block screen and buttons, for example when you put the phone into a leather case, similar to the blackberry feature. I hoped to find this feature here. In any case, more customizable shortcuts would be a great step forward.

Great application but would be even better if we could disable the "camera lens cover not oper" warning. Maybe I'm to dumb to find out the midle position of the buttom.

Fantastic app, setting the camera button to activate the phone is very handy!

I have an idea. Now that PR1.2 is out which requires ctrl-shift-r to activate portrait mode in many apps, it would be amazing to be able to do it without having to slide out the keyboard. If you want to use the phone in portrait mode why would you want to have to slide out the keyboard?

How difficult would it be to add a 'Portrait' option to the camera short-press menu, one which just runs a ctrl-shift-r keypress script?

This would make this application not only good... essential.

Thank you for this great and useful app! I think I might have found a small bug though. After the user opens the camera app to use the camera and then closes it, the functionality of the camera button shortcut disappears permanently until the program is restarted by saving the settings again. It would be great if the camera button functionality could be restored automatically when the user is done using the camera app.

I've found the half-press shortcut useful to switch between tasks without having to sacrifice full screen mode.

Works as advertised. It might be nice to give cursor down or cursor up option (or page up/down if this is possible) for proximity sensor. This would be useful for scrolling through music collections or stations since some apps are somewhat unfriendly when using the touch screen for scrolling. Also, I guess there is no way to disable the "camera lens not open" warning when using the camera button shortcut??

Very nice app, actually the only way for calling dashboard when your keyboard is closed.

Proximity is useless, but camera button is a must. However, its configurable etc so very nice job.

Very userfull for camera button (which was unused for middle press)! Proximity sensor works but i think it's less usefull.
