Configure Press and Hold for other buttons

I am currently using Dutty's newest rom. For the PTT button I am able to define what happens when I hold the button.
I would like to add the ability to close the program when I hold the OK button (button 4). Is there a good way to add the (hold) option in the button settings for all buttons?
Thanks,

For ALL buttons? Even the camera? Then what? How will you take pictures?
Have you searched? Someone wrote a program to do this, I read it yesterday. Try searching. I know you are new, but the search button will be yoru friend.

Well, I guess not all buttons. I just would like the option to configure two things for each button.
Through my search I found AE button. I tried that, but was unsuccessful to get it to work properly. I am attempting to remap the side OK button. Remapping the "OK" button only applies to the front OK button.
I think more of my issue is that I am trying to remap the side button, is that possible? I imagine many people would love to be able to close programs using this button.

I hate to be so wrong, so quickly.
My mistake, AE button is exactly what I was looking for it. I was remapping the wrong button. Although it isn't easy to use, I recommend it to all.
I would prefer a reg-tweek to add the option to the buttons dialog, but this will do.

This is the simplest and non 3rd party way to remap your buttons for long press. No need to install a program.

G1 Camera button to a Search button

I was thinking about how useful it would be to turn the Camera button into a "search" button, like many other android devices have. Besides, it's not like the camera button is much useful in the home screen since we can use the trackball to take pictures in the camera. Assuming it doesn't affect booting into the spl (Camera+Power), then wouldn't it be pretty useful if we can use the camera button as a search button instead?

How to remap the G-key to any app?

I saw threads remap the g-key to camera. But I want to map it to a volume app.
Thanks for the help.

Here is what i found;
1.Firstly, you need a rooted LG Optimus Black.
2.Find the file“TWL4030_Keypad.kl”, it’s in /system/usr/keylayout/
3.Backup the file, copy or rename.
4.Then open the “TWL4030_Keypad.kl”, scroll down to 3rd line from the bottom, it should be “key 95 GESTURE”.
5.If you want to use your phone’s “G Button” as camera button, change it to “key 95 CAMERA WAKE_DROPPED” (Once you launch the camera app, you can press the “G button” to take a picture immediately)
6.If you want to use use your phone’s “G Button as power/lock button, change it to “key 95 POWER WAKE_DROPPED”
7.Save the changes and reboot the device.

You get the trick right? With a little luck you can remap it to anything you want. You can write volume i guess... But volume has 2 options "+" and "-". So even if you manage to do it you will only be able to remap one of them. It's either "volume +" or "volume -" Since G is only one button.

Thanks a lot man!
The Volume i mean is just an ordinary app from the market called "volume toggle free". So an instruction about remapping the gkey to any app should work. How?

[Q] Power Button for Camera Shutter

Does anybody know how to get the Power button to activate the camera shutter? I know you can't do it in the stock firmware, but maybe there's a way to edit gpio-keys.kl or a mod that could be flashed. I'm aware you can set the volume button to the shutter, but I would prefer to have them control zoom and the power button control the shutter.

Is there any way to remap the Bixby Button as camera button so that it can open camera even when screen is OFF ?

I have remapped Bixby button to camera in advanced settings but it works only when screen is ON which is pointless. Is there any way to start the camera directly even when screen is OFF using Bixby or any other button similar to Camera button found on Sony phones ?
