Handcent Quick Compose Key?

[jamesino]

I upgraded from an HTC Droid Incredible that had a softkey search button that I can program (long press) to bring up Quick Compose on Handcent SMS (the option was in the the app).

However, the GS3 of course does not have a search button. Is there anyway I can assign a long press of the back button on the phone to bring up Handcent? I tried downloaidng Nova, but the closest I can get was to assign the long press of the home key to bring up the Handcent app (but not quick compose, I still had to select Compose new message before being able to start typing my message).

thanks!

Would I be able to re-map a long press of the back button to bring up Handcent Quickcompose if I rooted my phone?
