FBReader and 'home button' scrolling on Android?

cavgirl · 01-08-2011, 10:04 AM

I have a Dell Streak and have finally managed to more or less tweak it as I like for reading with FBR. I've seen references to keybindings, and I know from the Windows versions that FBR is very customisable that way.... so, I was wondering if it's possible to scroll pages on FBR using hardware buttons other than the volume control? I find it tiring and hard on my hands - I'm lefthanded, so the motion is a bit awkward. Ditto for flicking. Any other options? Oh, and the Streak has been upgraded to 2.2, if I remember rightly.

You should also be able to scroll with a single tap to the screen and a long tap selects a word for the dictionary (version 0.99.3).

I know, but I was wondering if the scrolling function can be tied to the home/menu/back buttons at all?
