Assigning "End Key" to close out of programs

Hey guys,
I got a TMOUS HD2 a couple of days ago and was wondering if there was a cab or some sort of reg tweak that can assign the end key to exit out of programs instead of pressing the back key and ending it in task manager, or having to exit using the soft keys.
I personally prefer to have a hard button to exit out of the programs because I am coming from the iPhone.

the end key is used to turn off your screen and put your phone to sleep/stand-by or end a call, so i find it impractical to use it to exit an app or for anything else... how else would you put your phone on standby without it? unless u let the display time out but then you'll wonder why your battery doesn't last as long as it should. the HD2 is not an iPhone

Are you aware that you can click the cross in the top right of the screen? Clicking it minimizes the app and a long press closes it. You can download something like Touch X Task Manager that can reassign these the other way around so a short tap on the cross closes the app. This is just as quick as clicking a hard button and as stated assigning it to end key either single or long press prevents other important features namely switching to standby for a short press and turning the phone off for a long press.

Long press home button --> Task manager ?

Is it possible to assign a specific program for long pressing the home hardware button? It would be fantastic to switch between programs easily by accessing a list of open programs by long pressing home.
Android has a version of that:

[REQ]Reduce time of long press end/send key action

I mapped 2 different apps to my long press send and endkey (taskfacade & slide2unlock)
For me the time after the apps get started is a bit to long. Is there a way to reduce the time?

Hard buttons & trackball functionality-Looking for Long PRESS

Hunting around for solution but surprisingly all seems to be happy with button layouts. Currently my buttons are:
1) Long press SEARCH - dialer One
2) Long press HOME - visual task swither
3) Long press MENU - brings keyboard (default)
4) Long press BACK - ???
Can we assign something on long press BACK? Sleep????
Is there solution for long press MENU to assign something other than coming out with keyboard? I'm thinking about Peoples/contacts.
As for trackball, currently I'm using to wake up with a press. I don't know why but I'm really struggling almost everytime to reach and press power button on top. One more I would much prefer and very happy is to ANSWER calls with a press of trackball while at lockscreen. Perfect!
Many thanks if can point to some directions.

I'm pretty sure similar to the Home Long Press, Back and Menu Long Press are impossible to change system-wide without hacking Android itself (like Home Long Press had to be).

Download an app that can use Search Long Press and the next time you press it, Android will ask which app you want to use.

Multiwindow vs long press back

Since the early days of android, I used long press back to kill my application. One of the best customization features. But now samsung also has a good feature for the long press back option, multiwindow.
I want to use both, but my finger muscles are hardcorded to pressing this button for killing applications Is it possible to change the key for multiwindow for example long pressing the menu button? Perhaps trough a xposed module maybe?
