and for the logging ect.. basically just the ability to do something, execute an app, or send an sms, or simply a log with times.

edit: but if the keyboard has to be open, that wouldn't be the end of the world, still easier than trying to see what your doing, to get in and change the backlight setting.

Also you can assign a hardware button to change the backlight level with certain apps, I do just that with spb pocket plus.... It also has a cool alt-tab style thing that you can assign to a hardware button too (and you can make the default action still available by holding the button - example I use the comm manager button to change my backlight level but if I hold it down it will still bring up the comm manager, also if I hold down the IE button it brings up skyfire etc).
