Any program you can't find as an option probably needs a shortcut in this file.
Thanks, I'll try that next time.

There used to be an app for the Palm platform that would be useful to port to PPC: SingleButtonLauncher. It allowed for 4 apps to be defined to each hard key and it would cycle thru the list as you held down the key, launching the one you stopped on.

Something a little different from this is Magic Button. It is more of a closer button, but it puts the icons of running applications in the top taskbar, allowing you to switch applications by tapping on the one you want.

You know what I really miss from the Palm world? QLaunch. No true PPC equivalent that performs its task in the same manner.

With MortButtons, you can assign as many apps as you like to to each button. The only difference is that you have to press the button again to select the next entry, instead of keeping it pressed...

How to use ALT tab effectivly (HTC/8125)

I saw a comment about difficulty assign alt tab to hot key.
I found that by creating a system tray icon i was able to use alt tab.exe effectivly.

When you click the icon in the system tray your hand is already on the dpad and you are ready to navigate the running programs.

There is a utility called phm_traylnch_182.exe which lets you create your own tray icons. (attached)

additionaly using smartskey (attached) you can close the selected app when you arrive.

I am also about to download a util i found which simply closes all running tasks . I will create a tray icon for it and use that in combination with the rest.

This frees up a hot key for me and provides maxim usability.
