Hi. I recently got my note 3.
On note 4, the left button it's the task manager (I'm right?) so I want to know if there's any kernel or a rom that got that function on note 3.
I want to use the menu button of my note 3 as the task manager as the note 4.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot!

There is an xposed module for that if I'm not wrong. I use this with temaseks rom and you should find this option in any asop and cm12.1 roms.

Remap menu Key

It is possible to Remap the Menu Key, But your Phone needs to be Rooted.

You will need a Root File Browser. The Samsung My Files App won't achive this.
Browse to System root
Open "system", "usr", "keylayout"
Make a backup of Generic.kl. Copy paste it somewhere, Rename this to "Generic.bak
Open Generic.kl as a text file
Scroll down to key 139
Replace MENU with APP_SWITCH
Save then reboot.

You Menu key will then become "Recent Apps"
Long Pressing will be the Menu Key.
