Can I create a flow that would assign physical keys to launch certain apps? Like a long or short of the "S" key to launch the Play Store? This works with BB Launcher but not with others like Nova. I can't seem to get used to the BB Launcher after using Nova for years.

Hi,

You could try to use trigger Assist to react to long-touch of the home key. Note that this does not work on all devices and on some devices apps like S Voice have to be disable for the trigger to work.

What's meant here are keys of an actual physical keyboard. BlackBerry's launcher allows to map keys of the QWERTY keyboard to actions. One on short-press, one on long-press. Those actions only work while you're in the launcher and they work with a Bluetooth-keyboard, too.

I think OP wants the long-press shortcuts to work system-wide.
