Hi,
I have a 12.2" with an external Logitech bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I was wondering if it's possbile to program a hot key (in this case the windows key) so that the Samsung "recent app" bar appears?
I know the Alt-Tab keys will allow you to switch apps but it doesn't allow to close them.
So in a perfect scenario. I would press the single windows key and the recent app function would launch across the bottom of the screen.
Thanks for your help.

I set the home button long press action as "Recent app switcher" but not working. What should i do?
I tried it for other keys, still did not work.
I recently noticed that the soft button to the left of the home button has started ONLY opeing a search Option were as in the past it would open the menu from with in individual application if you did a long press.
Any way to get it back to opening the application menus?
I currently have my screen set to turn of when not in use at 30sec. If I have say a browser window open, step away from the phone, the screen turns off as expected. When I hit the home button, screen turns on and closes what ever app I was using, in this case the browser window.
How can I set the home button to turn the screen back on, but not close the app I was using?
Thanks...
Hi!
I don't think you can reprogram the action on click on the home button using the Samsung's stock ROM.
You may have some luck using the Xposed Additions Xposed module -- I haven't tried it myself, but based on the description, it should help you achieve what you want. You will, of course, need to be rooted and have Xposed Framework installed.
In the stock ROM, the home button switches tasks away from any open app but does not exit your ongoing session within the app.
You can long press on home to pop a task list enabling you to switch back.
You can more fully exit any task using the (curved arrow) back soft key, but the task remains partly open on the home button popup unless you either flick it aside or use the "x" soft key to close all.
Short press the power button for a simple screen wakening.
