[APP] [1-5-09] Start Menu and OK/Close Button Sender

[lotion]

I'm a left handed owner of a Touch Pro (AT&T Fuze) and I got sick of having to try to hit the little x button when using my device one-handed.

As a result, I made these two tiny (4k) native c++ applications that open the start menu and hit the OK/Close button. That's it. Nice and simple. Works ideally for me with the (useless) PTT button located on the left side below the volume rocker -- perfect thumb positioning! I've mapped the start button executable to PTT short-press and ok/close to PTT long-press and I couldn't be happier.

I'm sure there must be other solutions already available but I looked around a bit and couldn't find an easy one so I made my own instead.

The zip contains two files:
skey.exe opens the start menu.
okey.exe hits the ok/close button.

Enjoy!

I wish, I could assign your start button executable to the Home button, because it does the same as the End Call Button.

Maybe You can try it?

I can't find this button, can you show me on a pic please? Thanks.
Edit: Never mind, I thought this was in the Touch Diamond section, I also thought the Touch Pro was identical besides the keyboard and the flash.

this was an article titled "Remap PTT to Start Menu or Close" with two small apps that work.

Just a bump because my little app, in tandem with DredSensor does exactly that. I've now mapped Home click to start button, and home double tap to ok/close.

Hi, thank you very much for these files, there are really helpful.

I was wondering, is it possible to make an application as in "Home" button, to get you back to the Today screen?
And one for the "Back" button, maybe?

I am not sure if those applications already exist in Windows folder, somebody knows?

thank you very much

Alright for lefties! Thanks so much! I also hate how everything is so right-handed oriented Like the TF3D tabs too. The people are on the right side :| And everything else too.
