Hardware Buttons

[wellsjs]

Do you use hardware button programming software? If so, which have you tried and which do you prefer?

Also, it might be a great help to those of us who do use this to share what combinations of button programming you use.

Tried: Handbutton, ButtonSwitcher
Prefer: ButtonSwitcher (no errors, profiles!)

Datebook: Agendus, Wassup (allows me to switch to Wassup day view - easier than toggling Agedus' day view)

Address Book: Address, Mapopolis (I can toggle between an address lookup and quickly copy/paste it into Mapopolis for map lookup! This is a great combo!)

ToDo: Todo Plus, Slap

Memo: Memo Plus, Bible Reader (I usually leave my daily Bible reading plan memo open so when I first press this hardware button, I get my daily Bible reading. The second press of the same button gives me Bible Reader (AsaiSoft). This also is a great combo!)

So, what are others' secrets to a better organized life? :eek:

NRButtons

Slow Launch. Supports Apps and DAs and supports using jog dial and back button for app or da launch, in addition to the other hardware buttons, without giving up any of the original functionality.

TealLaunch (hack).

Provides a popup app/da launcher (12 listings), provides an popup function window (copy/paste/lock/backlite, etc.), and remaps buttons and combos of buttons I didn't know one could use!

Current arrangement for my buttons:

Datebook: DateBk5
Datebook, held: TealLaunch apps list (12 most used apps beyond the 5 I show in Wassup which loads on powerup - my psuedo launcher arrangement)

Address: SuperNames
Address, held: FileZ

Todo: SmartInput (allows input of either todo/mtg./memo & opens tap keyboard when launched)
Todo, held: TealMaster - hack master

Memo: HandStory
Memo, held: HotSync (I do a significant amount of syncing with laptop/cable, and this makes it very conveninent.)

Jog dial push: ScreenShot

Graffiti buttons, special:

Calc: Wassup (as a way to return to Wassup). I use snapCalc as a calculator (graffiti '/' and it's an icon on the edit bar)

Find: Launches MSDict (In three years of PDA use, I've yet to use the find button for find!)

I use EasyLaunch, a free hack. It allows you to change button functions, either to press, hold or hold long. It also let you to assign functions according to stylus swipes. I find it very easy to use and functional.

Datebook: Agendus cycle through views.

Phonebook: Press to open Audioplayer, hold to launch Omniremote.

To do: Press to open Avantgo, hold to open Isilo.

Memo: Press to open memo, hold to open Word to go.

Power botton: Press to turn on and off, Hold to turn off and lock.

Stylus functions:
Home to Menu: adjust brightness
Calc to find: turn on/off backlight
Home to Calc: Copy
Home to find: paste

I use EasyLaunch together with ClockPop and they work beautifully together.

DateBook:
Press - DateBk5 cycle through view
Hold long - ClockPop.

Address:
Press - Address
Hold - Call Lookup DA

To Do:
Press - DiddleBug
Hold - Progect
Hold long - wClockDA

Memo:
Press - CrsMeDoc
Hold - daMemoPad
Hold long - 2D Memo
