This app turns Motorola’s locked-down AI key into a button you’ll actually use
Single, double, and long presses can now trigger the shortcuts you choose.
The MotoKey Plus app allows Motorola's AI key to function as a customizable shortcut button. It can be assigned various actions, such as flashlight, screenshots, media controls, notifications, Quick Settings, Gemini, or any other app. The app is currently unofficial and can only be sideloaded, but a Google Play release is in the works.
Motorola has been focusing on improving the Android experience, including longer support promises and the adoption of GrapheneOS. However, the dedicated AI key on certain Motorola phones remains locked down, with Motorola controlling its functions. MotoKey Plus addresses this issue by enabling users to program the button to perform any action they desire.
The latest update introduces separate actions for single press, double press, and press-and-hold, with the developer's changelog stating that hardware-level routing prevents conflicts with Motorola's built-in actions.
