>I love the menu that pops up when the power button is pressed in SHR.  It

action associated with the AUX button is locking illume.  This option is
already implemented by selecting the >"lock" button from the power button
menu.  Duplicating this functionality is bad as we such limited tactile
input.



+1 agreed.  I've assigned the Alt button to bring up the phone app via the
illume "wrench" settings (input | key bindings).  I thought that a rotate
button on the power button menu might be useful, but I think I like your
idea below better, except that I've lost a quick way to access the phone
quickly.  How easy is it to add a function button (maybe user configurable)
to the power menu?


>Short press:                   bring up/get rid of the keyboard  (because
clicking the tiny qwerty button is a pain)
>Long press (2 secs):       Rotate the screen to the current accelerometer
reading.  

 

If the keyboard doesn't come up automatically, it takes 2 taps to get it.
Rotation right now is currently a mess (IMO)

>Where is the aux's lock functionality defined?  I realize I can probably
set both of these by setting some rules in the rules.yaml to call a bash
script on the dbus->message occuring....but is this the correct way?
>How would I go about disabling the current illume-lock on aux
functionality?



As mentioned above, it's currently assigned by E's input settings.  You can
actually assign a program or a script to it quite easily by choosing the
command option and putting that into the form field.  The limitation here I
believe is you can't capture long press, short press events.
