[Request] App to enable search bar by pressing camera button
 

Hello All,

In Nokia N900 whenever I want to search some item from a list it becomes compulsory to open keypad and start typing... (take a scenario of searching app goodies, or contact name in address book)..

it can be optimize by enabling search bar with the press of camera button.. the use case will work only when camera lens is covered,
so rather than to activate camera functionality which is not logical for me as anyway I have to open lens cover to work with camera...(which also does the same)



this will enhance touch screen functionality and also will make the user keyboard independent

I am not a developer, cant create any such app... can anyone of you?

whats your thought about it people..

You may want to try sending a request to the developers of shortcutd, which allows you to remap the camera key to certain functions.

iirc, there's already an app that allows reassigning buttons.
so, you only need to figure out how to make the search bar appear (probably dbus) and you're good.

i have the dim recollection of having seen a link pointing to a cheat sheet of the dbus objects/commands available ...

can you provide that cheat sheet.. and how to work with it?
