Works great, really nice to be able to configure stuff - takes this app to a whole another level.
One small feature request: Now that proximity sensor can be disabled from the applet, it would be nice that it wouldn't do it from the actual sensor anymore. At least, it should be configurable.
Other feature requests:
- Configurable to launch any application
- Configurable to set network connection on/off (this one would be awesome - instead of 3 clicks!)
- Configurable to set bluetooth on/off
- Configurable to set profile general/silent
- Configurable to start a web browser with a set webpage
My ultimate request: Alt-tab like behavior so a user could switch quickly between two last apps. I often jump between browser/irssi etc. so this would be a killer feature. But this one probably isn't so easy to implement.. Mad props and even donations if you guys can make it work

I think that we will start working on the features you are mentioning now. We have some ideas how to make the alt-tab behaviour, we have seen many requests for that. Stay tuned
Also, could someone give their impressions about 'menu' feature (it should bring you to the menu)? In general, would you describe it as a working feature (it may have some minor problems)? And actually useful?

I want to keep the proximity enabled, but I don't want it to disable itself - it happens sometimes accidentally. If I want to disable it, I can always go to settings and disable it from there.
Quickly tried the menu feature and it seemed to work quite okay. I find it useful since it is sometimes confusing how to get to the menu due to the fact that it's in the same button than dashboard.
Nice to hear that even alt-tab is in the works! This is gonna be the one-must-have-killer-app for me.
As it seems my ultimate request wasn't hard enough, I'll give a new one: Voice dialing contact

[edit] @MartinNZ, it is in progress, it is a bit more tricky that we thought, but we should figure this out soon.

Would it be possible to detect if the browser is used and only use the proximity then? Because currently I have enabled the "back in browser" feature for proximity sensor but I find it annoying to have the vibration every else (when it cannot be used).
Also an option to turn off the vibration would be nice.

Will it be possible to use it for writing Polish characters? For example: I hover proximity sensor and press "a" to get "ą".

I could give you a hint how to get Alt-Tab today!
Should I send you my paypal account data?
No no. It wasn't my work. You can find it here: Link (please read also the full thread)
BUT! Try it at your OWN risk! It replaces your hildon desktop (Dashboard) with a modified version. You're downloading it from a unofficial website. Everything could happen! Including a burning Device!!!
I'm currently using it. With shortcutd together it's WONDERFUL!
I also didn't need a "Open in Background" in the Webbrowser. "Open Link in new Window" - Tap the Camera Button twice and I can continue reading. I guess you will love it too.
Try it, enjoi it and vote here: Brainstorm
And also, please dont forget the Thanks button and visit the Brainstorm in my Signature.

Will it work as smooth as the hildon desktop replacement hack above?

All times are GMT. The time now is 08:42.
It also depends on the latest version of hopbeat's proximityd, making its effect on battery life absolutely minimal.
Thanks to Helmuth for the icon
KNOWN PROBLEMS:
- Multiple successive shortcutd restarts (if you change the settings quickly many times in a row) might make upstart think that the process is respawning too fast and disable it. If this happens, waiting a while and using "start shortcutd" as root should restart it.Hopefully fixed in 0.1-2Last edited by hqh; 2010-01-25 at 11:46.
