[Q] Swipe up to press hidden soft keys? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I've been using GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys to, well, auto hide my soft keys. But I'm frustrated by the two-step action to press a button--first an upward swipe at the bottom of the screen, then a press on one of the buttons. But since the buttons are always in the same place, I'd like to just swipe up in the vertical of the button to engage the press--for example, swiping up in the bottom left corner will press the back button without ever showing it.
Does anyone kow of an app t hat does this, or how I can go about this?
Thanks!

Update: Got it. GMD Gesture Control!

Any good software to help with the D-Pad issues?

I bought and used GScroll for a while and liked it... but ran into a few too many issues with that program active. Often when I wanted to hit a button and my finger slightly slid over the button, it would do a left/right movement or up/down movement.
I read of another app from here that makes the call and end buttons act as left/right buttons. But that application appears to only be designed for game use. As in, when you're done playing the game, you close the app.
Is there anything similar to that yet that runs all the time? I think the perfect app would replace the phone buttons with the following:
A long press of the green or red button would do the normal phone duties.
A quick press of the green or red button imitates a left or right press.
Is there anything out there yet that does that?

[Q] Question about touch buttons.

I've remapped some of the touch buttons to control buttons in emulators (ex: In a NES emulator, Search is A, Back is B.
The buttons work, however, when I press them they "disable" the screen and vice-versa. I'm thinking this is by design so you don't accidentally press a button while using the screen.
What I'm wondering is, does anyone know of a way to disable this?
I'm also trying to do it for SCUMMVM since many games are hard to play without right click. Right clicking is done by holding down the search button and then tapping the screen. And the Triumph only seems to let you use either the screen or the touch buttons, not both at the same time.
The phone is rooted by the way.
Thanks for any info!

Is there a way to hide the soft keys within certain apps?

To where I have to tap the screen to bring up the soft keys again?

Hard press home button options

Anyone know if there's a way to make the home button only work with a hard press? I'm not referring to unlocking the phone or turning on the screen, I'm asking about when using the phone or an app and wanting to press the home key, I would like the ability to disable a simple tap and make it feel more like a button by utilizing the pressure sensor. Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance
Look in Settings, Screen, Navigation bar, Home button sensitivity.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try this-
set/display/navigation bar/Home button sensitivity
Sensitivity can only do so much, I have it on minimum for purely comfort, because it's much more effortless to unlock your phone when the tap doesn't have to be so intense. And if I really am force-pressing on the button area at any force, I am trying to unlock the phone, so I don't really see a point in having to press it with a lot of effort.
But I've found out that the button is very largely hardware-based, since it works and vibrates even when changing themes, when things like system UI are not active, and normal nav buttons and status bar are gone. So I doubt that any sort of third-party development will be done for it without root access, since the hard press function seems to work as a real button press, and not a virtual press.

Change buttons functions

Hello!
I wish to nawigate through gear s3 without touching the screen. To do this I need to make the top button "Enter" and the bottom button "Back" functions.
I there any app or patch which to this?
i wish there was an option to choose functions for top and bottom double click, so i could set top button double click to "Next Song"
but only the bottom one can be changed, and not for navigation
