This is an awesome app. No doubt it'll save some battery life during the day when you don't really need the back light on for your keyboard. One tweak that makes this really useful is this - import the following registry file using a registry editor. What it does is make your side key thats below your volume rocker usable for a single press in addition to being able to press and hold it. Assign keylight to it and you have a quick easy way of shutting off and turning on your keyboard back light.

Here's what's in the registry file, and I'd import it instead of typing all this in. Just easier, imo:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\4 0C7]
Default="\Windows\Start Menu\Camera.lnk\"
"WndCls"=""
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"BtnWnd"=dword:00000000
"Name"="side"
"Icon"="\\windows\\shellres.dll,-8263"

This works great. I couldn't import the registry file so I had to type it in but it works. I set mine to hold side. Thanks dannzeman.

you're welcome. what was the problem with importing the reg file? were you using a registry editor to import it? what did u decide to assign to the single press side button?

i assigned keylight as the single press and a screen capturw app to the press and hold.

I am using Total Commander to edit my registry simply because it was the first one I found and it was free. I couldn't find an import button.

I assigned the camera to the single press and assigned the option + start to none. I may flip flop the camera and keylight later if I end up turning the camera on accidentily.

yeah i havent used total commander in forever so i couldnt tell ya how to import it off the top of my head. i always like to see how others set their phone up, it helps me find more efficient ways of setting mine up. i'll try and get this in my registry tweak thread soon.

I got this device a week after it came out and I still find myself tweaking it.
