Being able to remap hardware keys to perform functions that are more important to your personally has been something that Windows Mobile was capable of since the last decade. It was great for having easy tactile-access to applications and functions without having to look at the device’s screen.

It’s certainly not even close to being as easy as it was on classic Windows Mobile devices, but if you’re the hacking type, the full thread may be worth a read.
