Re: tp2 hard keys

There has been a steady decline in the number of hard keys on my last few HTC devices, as well as a general movement toward using the touchscreen as opposed to hard keys for navigating. That's nice and all but my right thumb isn't long enough to reach every part of the screen, which means I have the maneuver around and fumble the device a bit to get things done.

I need my hard keys pretty bad and I quickly decided to make all the default keys work as normal ONLY when double-tapped. Single tapping and holding have different functions, mainly for vertical scrolling (Talk and Windows), left arrow (<-, great for easy navigation in Total Commander), and minimize (End key). The power button can also be remapped (suspend, turn screen off, soft reset, power manegement, etc..)

I suggest everyone install Rhodium Keyboard Controller and just play around to see what best fits your day-to-day needs.
