Nova launcher has an option to remap the menu button long-press. Anyone know how to replicate that without using that launcher (I don't want to use Nova)?

Is it possible to map the menu key (long press) to show all recent apps without installing a custom rom? I am willing to root to get this function but I really don't want to deal with custom roms. Is there maybe an app or something I can flash that can do this? I'm currently stock unrooted with Nova launcher, which only allows me to map the menu key (long press) to recent apps if I'm at the home screen.
I haven't been able to do what you're asking, but have had success enabling the onscreen soft keys. This requires root:

Some things are a little wonky with soft keys: the top entry of the call log is cut off and fast forwarding video with the default player while in landscape mode doesn't work. Small price to pay IMO for easy access to the multitasking menu.
I'm using the Torque app to see the fault codes in my car, but I can't set up a profile because the app doesn't have a built in "three dot" menu/settings button. Is there anything else I can do?
Is there a dedicated menu button that I can add to my Paranoid Android / Nova laucher Nexus 7?

Got GMD GESTURES and custom made an action to simulate the menu button.
I haven't seen this particular problem anywhere on the forum. Is there a way for NOVA Launcher long menu press to override the CM11 long menu press? I'm trying to use the long menu press to hide my dock but have not been successful. My Tab 3 7.0 running Rocket Tab will let me do it. I'm still not getting rid of NOVA and CM because it is just a minor issue but I'd like to know if anyone has been successful with it.
When I long-press Home button it opens Google app, but I would like to change to DuckDuckGo, I had it working on S5 but I can't find where to do this in the Note 7 settings?
Try this? It's for a different app but this is how I can get home button launcher to launch any app while holding the home button instead of Google assistant.

You can set in the app whatever you want to launch while holding the home button.

Hi.
So I've been trying to get my navbar buttons to work as they did in my previous phone. What would be:
Recent apps short press: open menu
Recent apps long press: search
Recent apps double tap: open assistant
Home button short press: home
Home button long press: recent apps
Home button double tap: split screen
Back button short press: back
Back button long press: kill app
Remaping the buttons doesn't seem an option since the soft keys are not detected as buttons. I rooted my device as well.
I've tried several methods using other apps that should replace the stock navbar but those despite being shown they do nothing.
I would also like to have it so the home button is disabled when typing.
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks

Most of the functions you listed can be achieved by using the navbar customization built into Oxygen OS. (Settings->Buttons->Navigation Bar->Customization) The kill app button could probably be done with Tasker.

Although it is true the actions themselves are available on the stock menu apart from search and kill app. The short press action cannot be changed
Ah, didn't notice the menu one. Just for curiosity, do apps still support a menu button function? I haven't seen a hardware menu button in years.

Oh yes they do. All of the ones I use at least it just opens whatever menu the app has that you would access by pressing on 3 dots. I just hate that some apps use other methods so you always have to think how to open the menu as oposed to just pressing the same thing
