Option to allow Home button to always open default screen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've wished for this option for a while, and I've seen some other home screens 
starting to support it - basically, whenever I press Home I want to go to the 
default screen. Regardless of where I am. Bonus points if it's instant (e.g.: 
no visible scrolling from whatever screen I happened to be last on).

I think things like Quick Desk and Power Strip and the like are mainly an 
implementation of this; I suspect the people who use them really use them 
(whether they know it or not) because they always want to see the same thing 
whenever they hit Home, and go from there.

Thanks for the great work. ADW rocks :)

That's not what he means. This is going to be re-opened.

He wants it to open to default screen every time you return home, this does NOT 
happen. It returns to whatever screen you were on last.

But you're NOT in a screen when this happens. He's talking about returning to 
home all together, App > Home screen.

Yeah, there's a bit of confusion. There's a Home button binding, but it only 
takes effect when you're already at an ADW screen (in other words, it's only 
meaningful if you are in ADW, and not on the default screen).

The request is to have an option that will always open the default screen when 
the Home button is pressed - not just when ADW is already in the foreground. 
For instance, if my default ADW screen is 1, and I'm in screen 2, and I launch 
the browser (from screen 2), and then press Home, it currently goes back to 
screen 2. It would be fantastic if there was an option that would have it go 
back to screen 1. This option exists in Launcher Pro, and I've seen it as the 
only available behaviour (no option, but it does this by default) on a few 
Galaxy S models.

(There's a related request to add a binding option for the back button; I think 
these two together will solve virtually every use case that Quick Desk and 
Power Strip offer, and to some extent Quick Settings as well. The key being to 
allow the user to have the same screen presented to them without having to 
think about it - one part of it is displaying the default screen when Home is 
pressed, and the other is showing the default screen when I've been mashing the 
back button for a few seconds.)

Thanks again, and I hope that helps,

Dave
