I love the menu that pops up when the power button is pressed in SHR.  It
allows the user to quickly choose what they want to do in a nice clean
interface suitable for the touchscreen.
However, I hate that the only action associated with the AUX button is
locking illume.  This option is already implemented by selecting the "lock"
button from the power button menu.
Duplicating this functionality is bad as we such limited tactile input.

I propose that this be changed.  I think an ideal use for the aux button
would be:
Short press:                   bring up/get rid of the keyboard  (because
clicking the tiny qwerty button is a pain)
Long press (2 secs):       Rotate the screen to the current accelerometer
reading.  (Having the rotation occur all the time (via omnewrotate) is
annoying.  What if you are playing mokomaze? or just trying to tilt the
screen to reduce glare?)

I feel like these are the two actions that I find myself most often looking
for a quick way to perform.

I wouldn't mind working on this if other people are interested in it as
well.

Where is the aux's lock functionality defined?  I realize I can probably set
both of these by setting some rules in the rules.yaml to call a bash script
on the dbus-message occuring....but is this the correct way?
How would I go about disabling the current illume-lock on aux functionality?

Thanks,
