Using QWERTY keys to launch apps

[alephbot]

Does anyone here know of any hack or any app which will allow you to program the QWERTY keys on the 750 to launch an application with a long press? There is a program called Butler which does this for the Palm OS.

I would love to know if this is possible.

Any help at all is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I too would like to know. Currently you can assign a speed dial to any key. But for some reason it only let's you dial and not launch a program. Funny thing is it seems quite easy but it looks like only Contacts is in the select window and you can't change it to a file.

I haven't tried AEButton plus yet. But that might screw some things up.

While it doesn't use long key presses, Control Key Pro uses 2-button presses to launch settings utilities, applications and other functions, all user definable.

I find it especially useful for copy/paste and kill active app.

I also recommend multihook to allow Treo Keyguard and Ctrl-Key Pro to peacefully coexist.
