Multi-Tap Hardkey App

[synaptyc]

IS there a Multi-Tap Hardkey App out there that could be used for the Sprint Touch?
I don't have one yet... and don't even know if it comes with this type of app stock.
It sure would rock to be able to assign multiple functions to that lonely little hardkey.
One tap, Two taps, Three taps... you get the point.
Maybe even a sequence of hardkey+dpad?
Make an app that starts in "listening for button taps" mode when you hit the hardkey.
Better yet, Make an today plugin that resides on the bottom left or right corner (depending on which is your predominant hand) and listens for multiple taps. Once you tap... say... 4 times, it knows to launch a certain app.

Just a thought.

AE Button Plus
v2.6, September 21, 2007

This utility extends functionality of hardware keys on Windows Mobile devices. It allows you to:

* intercept almost any standard button: application buttons, WM5 SoftKeys, Volume slider, Action and even Red/Green phone buttons
* distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and "long" keypresses).
* remap each of the keypress events to "virtual" application button or assign them directly to one of the wide set of built-in actions.

As a result you may "convert" volume slider to up/down arrows, assign several essential application buttons to these "SoftKey" buttons and even assign your favorit alternative dialer to red/green phone buttons.
Current list of built-in keypress actions

* Run Application
* Emulate keypress of many hardware buttons like Enter/Esc/up/down/left/right/red/green/WM5 softkeys/volume etc.
* Emulate standard application buttons
* "Virtual Application Button"
Being specified as keypress action, "Virtual button" appears in standard Start -> Settings -> Buttons setup dialog and may be assigned here.
* Close (terminate) active application
* Switch next application
* Alt+Tab (switch between two last applications)
* Task Manager with charge level / memory summary info. Task manager may be operated with directional pad (up/down - choose application, left/action - switch to, right - terminate) or finger/stylus.

You may apply filters to hide annoying applications (e.g. Phone)
