re 2 - are you saying you'd like the vol keys to issue left/right key commands? what would you use that for? (trying to figure how broadly useful it would be)

thanks for the suggestions!
I was thinking of using the volume buttons (with chording) as a replacement for a jog wheel - primarily in the launcher. However, when the volume buttons emulate "up/down", you only hit 1/3 of the apps as you scroll through the launcher screen. Emulation of "left/right" would hit them all.

Anyway, if chording the buttons is out, then the whole house of cards collapses - I don't gain anything by using the volume buttons to select the app, then hitting the center button.


thanks anyway - tdh
