Is there an app/option to creat an app for this kind of action for us Q10/Q5 users?
Simple- answer a phonecall:with one of these keys Q W E R
End call with one of this keys: U I O P
Probably the easiest sequence for key strokes would be the space bar to pick up and the Delete key to hang up. As it stands now, I haven't missed the old dedicated phone keys, but any and all keyboard shortcuts are more than welcome.
If the a call is incoming, the spacebar will pick up. If the call is connected the space bar would disconnect.
OP means original poster
I don't think using a single letter key is a good idea just because then we'll get people complaining that the single key is to small of a space to touch (remember the fiasco the call screen was and people saying the answer bar was too small?)

Thanks. But I think thread starter (TS) makes more sense. Dunno where it really originated but we use it in a local audiophile forum. ).
Yes the spacebar can toggle receive/end calls. For conference calls, the spacebar is disabled, you need to use the touchscreen.

I know this is off topic but how does Thread Starter make more sense than Original Poster? I'm gonna say its based purely on your comfort level, and history, with using TS from another forum. In my forum experience (since the turn of the century covering everything from games to smartphones and from graphic design to torrents and everything in between) I have never seen TS before and have only known OP.
To each their own I guess.
Back on topic, I don't know if an app would be able to get that level of access to the OS. Although I'm sure an app that replaced the phone altogether, such as Rogers One Number or Skype, would be able to do that.
The only drawback I see to using any of these keys is that all the letter keys are used for speed dial except the space bar, shift (l+r), alt, del, sym, and return. Dollar sign toggles speakerphone. How about power/lock to end calls? I frequently used that on my 9900 while driving because I knew where that was located - vs. fumbling on the toolbelt for end call.

Power/lock key is a great idea.
In order of preference i'd say power/lock, then spacebar
Why not like one key, pick up "q" and end call "p"
It would take too long to type four keys, I would never use that!

Not every key. Just one of the 4.
To others:
Thanks to all.
The spacebar is a nice option too!
I think this should be possible-
When the headset is on, there is one button to answer/end calls. Why not without the headphones just use the spacebar/or one of the keys?
There must be a way to implement this.
The shortcuts DON?T exist, we're brainstorming possible shortcuts.
Just realized spacebar might not be the best option since a long press minimizes the app.

Oh wow. I just assumed that BBRY would have thought of something like that. Seems rather intuitive. Maybe they just couldn't decide where they would put the shortcuts. Developing an app that would create these shortcuts would be absolutely fantastic!

But only one key is sufficient... say "a" for answer and DEL to end call, they're on the same row...
Or enter and delete... or space and delete... The keyboard is so huge...
I am sure they thought about it, started to argue and fight, then the chief /chairman said: "Stop! No key! Pass to the next decision.... long press "a" to lock the screen and "q" to turn into vibrating mode? What a nonsens... pass to next... "auto-off"? Are you kidding? Out! Out!"...
Oh, would not bother you... sorry, but you got my point!

Yes!!
A for answer and DEL would be great too!! Just an option, mayby not for everyone. But for those who dont need a trackpad but need to feel when I am answering / end a phonecall.
