Full press is more tricky, we do not plan to add this in shortcutd (in short: it needs to prevent camera application to launch and that is an ugly hack).

This maybe would be better in the shortcutd project place, as a feature request, but....

I'd like one choice for the short/long camera button press to be a configurable menu. Same kind of UI as is in the system-menu, what comes when power-button is pressed. There in the "shortcutd-menu" would be then buttons and respective commands configurable by shortcutd settings UI (or at first just by text file in ~/.shotcutd.d/). For example I would put two button emitters for CTRL C and CTRL V (only to foreground process), because some hildonised applications miss clipboard-copy and -paste in the program menu and one has to open qwerty-keyboard just for that. Also shortcuts to some useful own scripts/programs (sh/py/bin) run in a xterminal or without could be there in a shortcutd-menu.

i.e. ~/.shortcutd.d/usermenu.cfg:
"Copy" emit-key-foreground ^C
"Run foo" run-terminal /home/user/.scripts/foo.sh one two three
"Lets Surf" run /usr/bin/fennec
...and so on

edit:

Started to read shortcutd-talk-thread, and someone there already had suggested something like abobe. Only those configurable shortcuts to program/script launches I'd like also.
