Changing Soft Key actions in DEFY - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to change soft key actions like MENU key to open app drawer.
No launcher provide the feature to change menu key action. Is there any way to do it???

{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here we can see four buttons at the bottom. Is it possible to assign custom functions for it???

this is indeed possible, BUT it doesn't work for the menu button bu the home button.
if you install a custom launcher. i think launcher pro and adw.launcher both have the option to tell the launcher what to do when you push the home button.
launcher pro it is
menu --> preferences --> behavior settings --> home key action --> open/close app drawer
if you do this and have launcher pro as your default launcher it will open the app drawer when you push the home button

Buddy i am not talking about launchers even ADW launcher allows more features. I just wanna know whether changing some system files can do the trick??

Ah ok, remapping the menu button seems to be a bad idea, it it needed for the android unless you have 4.0
There are some apps that can remap the search button though, root required
