Close app with hardware button?

Using a Touch but probably not specific to it...is there any way to make a hardware button automatically close the screen/application that you are currently using? So i'm using CodyPPCs threaded SMS, i have the Touch camera button set to bring up the Today screen on a short press. We know that the threades SMS app has issues displaying notifications on the Today screen if you don't close out of it all the way....so any way to force a hardware button to close out of whatever app is currently in focus? Or force it to send a message similar to pressing "OK" so it closes that screen?

AE Button Plus lets you re-progam the Dpad & button to virtually what ever you want. Can also do volume and the 2 hard buttons

I have 2 pushes on D button = Lock, 1 = landscape, Hold=today screen. I checked the options and Close Active App is an option.

Vaguely recall someone saying FTouchFlo could be used to say a down swipe on screen = close app but then you loose the TouchCube functionality

I use quickmenu 2.7 and assigned the camera button (1 click) to ok/close and set the quickmenu to close with the OK button. This way you can close app with the hardware button. I have a touch as well.
