remapped it in case anyone is interested
think long press goes to S finder
Good work, but long press is menu, I use it all the time.

I used xposed additions module to remap it. Also mapped the volume keys, home and power buttons to change music, play/pause and activate torch respectively while I was at it.

Volume rocker mod to skip tracks for 5.1?

Is there a mod to enable this on stock rom? Thats pretty much the only thing I'm missing from custom roms, along with customizing the quick settings tiles.

Works really well. Under hard keys, just define volume+ button as volume+ (as it normally is) then it gives you an option for long press choose media control and it has an option for next track. Do the same for volume-

Any way to activate menu without three dots?

I believe this has something to do with new Android system.
I have some older apps like nbpro or simple task switcher that don't have three dots. Is there any way on tab s2 to remap an existing key to menu key? For example, long press switching or long press home will activate menu?
I found that I can have more settings key by activating assistant menu under accessibility. Assistant menu is a cyan circle, once tapped, it explodes to show further onscreen keys. To able to assign more settings to a key off the screen or to a gesture would be nice. I am not ready to root my tab s2 yet. Or else using xposed would be handy.
Long press the back button. It brings up settings/menu
Long press back key does work sometimes.
In some app like nbpro, the menu, more options appear when I hold back key after lo press. When I release after the long press the more options disappear. It sometimes does not register very well. I don't know if it is something to do with the app or something to do with the system.

Change HW button single press action?

Title says it all, i'm on stock. In the Buttons screen there are options to change long and double press of each hardware button, but not single press. I can change single press action of the home button with nova launcher, i'd like to change single press action of the left capacitive button so it acts as a regular menu button.
Try flar2's Button Mapper app.
All I want is long press on back-hardware key to kill the current app which we can usually find in developer settings. Is it a Nugent thing or stock OOS disable this feature?
I'm coming from a galaxy s3 running CM from about 4 years ago and even then it had simple things like this, i could hold back to kill and also use volume controls to skip track when screen is off, etc. Can't do any of that on this new phone, really frustrating. To remap back and recent apps button using that app you need to upgrade to the pro version

Change long press Home button

Currently holding the square screen button does a screenshot, rather redundant with Volume Down+Power. Any way to change it something else?
Never mind, it's the recent apps button/ alt tab button, whatever you want to call it. It's not the home button.
It can be changed in >Gestures>Screen Tools> Screenshot>recent apps key
