Question APP REQUEST Remap the Start Button

Looking for one of our great developers here. Possibly to take on the task of

creating a new app. A program to remap the start button the one With the windows icon.

Everything under the start menu is most likely already loacted somewhere else.

Like your cube, quicklaunchers, shortcuts and so on.

Nothing under the start menu is finger friendly, like were trying to make the rest of our functions on our phones.

I tend not to use the start menu at all. It seems to be a waste of a softkey.

I hope there are others who might feel this way. And show some support so maybe someone might be interested in taking on this task.

Thanks so much, T M Z

Yes start button.

You need to program the button, press it first so AEButton Plus knows where it is then you can assign it.

Re: APP REQUEST Remap the Start Button

I think it needs to be clarified whether the OP, meant the physical harware start button or the start menu logo soft button in the top bar....?

AEButton plus allows you to remap the hardware start button if i remember correctly.

Re: APP REQUEST Remap the Start Button

I'm am talking about the on screen start button with the windows icon. The one that drops down the start menu with all the small print for the apps. I would like software to remap that button. Thanks T M Z

Re: APP REQUEST Remap the Start Button

That's what I figured. AEButton Plus is only related to the hardware buttons. I would like to be able to remap the start menu bar as well. I also want to know how to remove the word "Start" from next to the windows logo or atleast change it.

Re: APP REQUEST Remap the Start Button

You might check out QuickMenu. There is a feature that allows you to change the on-screen function of the Start Menu. For example, when tap and hold the Start Menu on my screen it opens up Internet Favorites menu. However, if I just tap it without holding, my normal Start Menu opens.

Coz

Re: APP REQUEST Remap the Start Button

The whole point of this app that I was hoping someone would create was to get away

from all the drop down menus because none of them are finger friendly. If an app can

only assign one program or shortcut that alone would be finger friendly when you push

the start button. With all the shortcut cubes and so on, I don't need a cascading drop

down menu. Especially when it's not finger friendly. "Trying to get away from the

stylus as much as possible. Thanks, T M Z
