This utility extends functionality of hardware keys on Windows Mobile devices. It allows you to:

• intercept almost any standard button: application buttons, WM5 SoftKeys, Volume slider, Action and even Red/Green phone buttons
• distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and "long" keypresses).
• remap each of the keypress events to "virtual" application button or assign them directly to one of the wide set of built-in actions.

As a result you may "convert" volume slider to up/down arrows, assign several essential application buttons to these "SoftKey" buttons and even assign your favorit alternative dialer to red/green phone buttons.

Current list of built-in keypress actions
