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?

These are all great suggestions. I threw those help boxes in there at the last minute, so I just used the quickest thing I could. I definitely intend to put them into a real form. Tooltips for that control are a little wonky, so I opted not to bother with that.
Automatically remapping buttons could be done with a bit more data. I intentionally tried to keep the format simple so as to be more accessible. I'll consider that.
I also would like to automate the process more. Once I get some of the other things out of the way, I'll see about hooking it up with libprs.
For suspend, some people may want to have an additional button that allows them more easily to shut the thing down. I read right before I go to bed, and sometimes I fall asleep with the Reader. In those circumstances, I really just want to bang my hand across the thing to turn it off. (Though, before I started using doQuit it wasn't as big of a deal because I could just put it down and let the device turn itself off)
