I was wondering is it any way to remap the search button to take me into app switcher. (Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried to find something on this topic but I only found people remaping for other purposes.)

Going from the DInc to GN, I am seriously missing the search soft key.
While some mods enable this, they do not enable a long press to go straight to voice search. Therefore, the only way to voice search, if I don't want to use the Google Search Widget, is to press the search soft key at the bottom, readjust the handset in my hand if I'm only using one hand, and then press the voice search button at the very top of the Search dialogue.
Can someone please make a simple mod that will add the search soft key, but also with the ability to long press it to go straight to voice search?
Many thanks!
Also, if you'd like to see this mod, +1 this thread to keep it on top.
+1 how is this feature missing?!?

I'm running ZYGOT3 1.8 with a 4 button mod and the search button works just like that now

Any way to port a standalone mod so others may enjoy? I've seen a number of threads pop up regarding this.

I'm trying this.. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12133-mod-smooth-keys-modtheme-by-wjd-designs-standardalthtc-versions/page__st__140
****Scratch that. I lost task bar & soft keys... Going to give the rom that is compatible with this a try.
What about long press to start an app of your choice?
Yes that would certainly work. Help, anyone?

It is awesome, but this would take it to the next level.

I'd like something similar, but I don't have a search icon (don't need it), I'd like to long press on home to get Voice Search.
I know I've seen other posts about this but not a new topic. ICS has very good persistent search. However, I find I NEVER use my search button. Is it possible to re-map the search button to bring up the App Switcher?
The long press on the Home Key is much less convenient and I find half the time I attempt to do it it simply returns me to my Home screen.
Someone mentioned that this mod is available to the Nexus S. Using the Galaxy Nexus I found myself constantly using the App Switcher soft key.
Would anyone else find this extremely useful? Anybody able to take this on?
i'd also find this really useful. i know i can long press the home button but i always end up going back to the launcher and reopening the app.
I asked this in bodi's thread since he seems to have taken on these little mods for us. I link to it when I find it so you can see he's looking at it

I'm actually surprised this isn't a default mod for all these ICS ROMs. Seems like it is a big feature of ICS that isn't fully utilized with our phones. Maybe it isn't a simple mod?
I use my search key, for search. If they defaulted it to this I'd seriously stop using cm9. No joke.

I don't think they should *default* to this (unless maybe if you enable persistent search), but i think it would be a nice option or a mod. For people that use the persistent search it is a bit redundant and I find I switch between apps much more frequently than performing a search. Personally, I would like the option to switch/define what a short (and long) tap on that button performs to either:
1. Normal Search
2. Voice Search
3. App Switcher
btw, I didn't think your post was a joke.
It would be great of cm9 implemented a toggle between search and tasks for people who don't search and do.
Mods for CM9 and AOKP for the Search Button to App Switcher are up.
Check out this thread.

Does anyone know of an app that can do this. I really want to make the search key a recent apps key instead and possibly long press it for search. I rarely use the search key and long pressing home slows down multi tasking. I am rooted.

I read THIS post about remapping the search button to power button. I am wondering is there anyway to remap search button to Setting.
You could try asking this on that thread instead of creating a new one
Hit THANKS if my post helps you!
