[Q] Any way to remap the physical home button to the recent apps menu?

I've got a galaxy s3 running AOKP 4.2.2, and I want to make the home button open recent apps with a single click instead of having to long press or hit it to go to the home screen, then hit it again for recent apps. I've tried editing gpio_keys.kl with APP_SWITCH, but that just gives me the old pre ICS style switcher.

[Q] Reppaping Menu Button

I would like to remap the capacitive menu button to the recent apps switcher (default long press of the home button)
and then remap the LONG press of the menu button to the menu function (I need the ability to use the menu button when within the stock samsung apps like messaging, because they use fixed layouts and their apps are designed without the menu overflow.)
also my question is would apps still detect the phone as having a hardware menu button? I would like to be able to have apps have the menu button and not rely on the hardware.
then maybe since I would no longer need the home button long press possibly remap that to kill the current app? (that is not as important but just a side note)
I have looked EVERYWHERE and can not find a viable way to do this on the stock rom. thanks

[Q] Menu Soft Key only opens recent apps

Doesn't matter if I long press or short press, it always opens the recent apps and doesn't trigger the Menu of the app I'm in. Is this the ways it should be? I'm on 4.4.4 stock. Thx

Recent Apps

So when I broke my s5 and self repaired it, I ripped the multitask button, so I can't force close my apps without going to one handed operation and touching the button there. I'm thinking that this might be a problem if I flash to CM11 or 12. Will I still be able to go to one handed operation, or will and is there an app that will allow me to go to my recent apps?
If you have a custom ROM on, you should be able to map another key to that function. For example, I mapped my recents key to short press - menu and long press - recent apps, and mapped long press home button for screenshots. You could try mapping long press on back key to recents.
