this is great!

some ideas:
what about turning the hack explanations into tooltips? (or a textbox that follows focus) At the very least, make a scrolling textbox in the hacks help window: one more hack and the thing won't be readable at 1024x768.
also, it'd be helpful if selecting a hack tht remaps buttons automatically changed the choice on the right and grayed it out. I dunno if the data for this is there already, but it could also be used to guard agains key conflicts.

and lastly:
is it possible to use libprs or something to automate copying files to a Reader? This would be convenient, but also extremely useful for people who don't have SD card readers (like me :-( ).
and on a related but more anal note: I don't like how there's so many files in the root directory with igorsk's toolkit. it's possible to put them in a directory. in fact, i should probably go do it (i've done this a little bit before)

p.s. i don't get it... what's the point of suspend? the power button does this job well. Can the power button even be remapped?
