Hi all,
I am trying to find a soft-key software that will allow me to assign swipe actions to a floating key.
e.g.: I press that key and the system sends a swipe up from the center of the screen
or: I press another key and the system sends a swipe left from the center of the screen
Can you recommend any such tool?

I've searched everywhere, but didn't find a solution for the following:
when you hold the bottom left hardware touchkey you'll get a popup browser with google search.
And if you hold the center key a window appears with recent programs.
Is there a way too change these shortcuts into something of my own choice?
My s2 is rooted, so maybe there is an app that will do the trick?
Like you, I'd love to remap the menu key to home and home key to menu. We use the home key much more often than menu and it's harder to press a physical key. However, I haven't found such a mod yet.
Remapping keys
I am looking for a way to remap long press of back key (i.e. hold down right key) to something else. Haven't found anything yet.
Now I am using SwipeSwitcher - I configured top left swipe to run Quicker, top right swipe to run a task switcher (I am using PreHome), bottom right swipe to run recent apps (I couldn't find an app to run ICS recent apps, I installed Nova Launcher and assigned the swipe action to its recent apps shortcut).
Ok ive remapped menu to APP_SWITCH and now recent apps appear when i press menu. But how do i force the overflow menu (three dots) to appear? I know the samsung apps are capable because if you add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to build.prop it shows the navigation bar and all app have a menu in them. But how can i make the menu appear without forcing the navigation bar?
I think i read something about changing "hasPermanentMenuKey" to return as false so that the system automatically display the overflow menus but im not sure how to do that or if thats even correct.
In summary: I want menus to appear in apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I remap the menu key to APP_SWITCH too, anyhow, without showing the emulated home/cancel button on screen via qemu.hw.mainkeys=0, the force overflow action menu button just do not appear. If able to trick the app to alway show the action menu button, the remap key may work good, just some app like Whatapps / Facebook / Twitter may not able to access the menu.
Also, looking at keylayout folder, the file Vendor_04e8_Product_7021.kl contain list per below, change of it do have any impact? I tested but it acted weird and no conclusion on this. I did tried to put the Key 704 from RECENTAPPS -> APPLICATION and it launch the voice search when long pressing home button.
Key 704 RECENTAPPS
Key 705 APPLICATION
Key 706 SIP_ON_OFF
Key 707 VOICESEARCH
Key 708 QPANEL_ON_OFF
Any key# to remap the long press of capacitive Menu key to other function? Or long pressing feature is control by software only??

Do you know by any chance how do you do this for kindle fire hd 7 7.3.1 I want to disable nav bar by using qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 but this will get rid of the action bar app Manu as well. This wouldn't be a problem but the LMT launcher app menu button won't work unless the action bar app menu is there. Please help
I upgraded my Motorola Droid Mini XT1030 to KitKat 4.4. Frequently, the 3-dots menu shows up in a black bar at the bottom of the screen, all by itself taking up space. I'm guessing on a phone with soft keys, it would show all 4 soft keys, but since mine has 3 capacitive keys and no capacitive menu key, it shows the 3-dots overflow menu soft key by itself. Is there any way to get rid of that and map its function to a long press of the Recent Apps key (whereas short-press still works normally)?
EDIT: N/M, turns out there's an option under Display to make the phone work exactly the way I want it to!

Hi.
I have updated my LG G6 to Android Pie.
Now there is an option to change NavBar from 3 buttons to "Gesture and buttons" (see attached picture).
How "Gesture and buttons" works is when you tap Middle button, it goes to Home screen. When tap and hold, it opens Google Assistant. And if I am in a app, then next to middle button appears a Back button.
As I do not care for Google Assistant, I have disabled it. Now, when I tap and hold Middle button, it does nothing.
Is there an option to disable Back button and change Middle buttons behavior that a tap is Back and tap and hold is Home?
Thank you.
P.S. I am rooted and Magisk installed.
