Weird button combos.

Anyone noticed if you mash keys you get the phone to do things? For example pressing on the keyboard R, T, and J at the same time acts as the standby button. I've noticed that there is also another button combo to increase/decrease volume and emulate the Menu key.
First off, why?
Second off, what are these other key combos?

CM 7 has an option for waking up the phone with volume up/down, But u cannot switch on the phone using the volume rockers.

Same thing happened to me awhile ago.
I used Rom manager to flash cm7 and it has an option to wake the phone with volume buttons and there is an app called lock screen tools and I have it set to my search button to turn the screen off. And it works pretty nicely

Also in MIUI... just like that, may be because using the same code.

i dont think its possible to even remap keys i have tried and failed...
what happens is that when our phone goes in sleep mode... the softkeys get disabled.

The volumes key still are hard key. As we used it in cwm recovery I think it could be done by mod.

Power button is POWER. Which means - it's physically connected to a controller that powers the phone up. Which means - there's no way to remap it, just as there's no way to remap your doorbell button to turn on your lights - you need to rewire it for that.

My power button broke on my Milestone

I got the phone on by doing the stock restarr/ reboot thing and got it on but my daughter is going to get the current phone I have so I need an alternate way to turn my droid on. It took me awhile to get it on doing the stock reboot. What is a good app to download or a good alternate power button source? Id like to be able to set maybe my volume button as the power button but I have no idea how to do so. PLEASE HELP

To power it on stick it on a charger. To remap buttons it is just the /system/usr/ and there is a keylayout or keychar directory in there. In that will be a file you need to edit. My phone has a sholes one and I edited button 212 to be power wake dropped. Normally button 212 is the camera. You can use the Root Browser app for that. Also Button Remapper which you need to buy can do it for you.
Just change it and reboot.
