Okay, just another strage Idea. I've post it originally here: Use camera for control rather than touch screen
(but please, start with #16 before when you've got too much spare time)

@sorodoros, yes, we need a website with instructions for the app, should be up soon.
Can you check which particular option(s) gives this effect?
@Helmuth, I already though about this. Actually we could use both proximity sensor and camera to detect the swiping movement more accurately. There was also a PhD I read about, where the main camera (S60 platform it was I think) was used to recognize various gestures done with your index finger (moving the finger to the sides, to and from the camera etc.). I will post the link to the paper if I find it.

The configurations that cause the effect for me are "backspace (browser:back)" in browser, and "menu" invoking, both enabled together.

Also an option to turn off the vibration would be nice.

@DaSilva, sorry, missed your post
Detecting which application is currently running or better brought to front is the current main 'research task'
About vibration, we have added this feature, it will appear in the next release (or you can build it from svn).

Actually it is very easy to override behaviour of this key. All it taked is one command:
...Code:hal-device -r platform_cam_launch
After this, the cam_launch button is announced on D-Bus, but with a name that does not cause the camera application to start.

But, I think the only really useful thing could be to scroll fast to the top or the bottom on a webpage. Everything else is to complicated...

Another option is to simply kill camera-ui (with dsme -k /usr/bin/camera-ui) on staartup and camer cover close, and start it on cover open.

Great application. Sorry if this has been posted before but is it possible to tap the sensor in order to trigger the shortcuts instead of just waving my hand above it? I accidently trigger it sometimes the way it works now.
