We've already seen an extensive list of some new features coming to BlackBerry OS 10.3, but another cool one that we hadn't seen yet has turned up in the latest 10.3 SDK. It appears that a new keyboard shortcut will be added for physical keyboard devices, allowing you to quickly minimize apps and return to the home screen with just a single key.
As seen in the demo above, pressing and holding the space key on a BlackBerry Q5 BlackBerry Q10 will throw the current app into an Active Frame (minimize it) and return you to the homescreen where you can go about your business. Yes, it's the same as just using the swipe gesture to get where you're going, but I'm all for having more keyboard shortcuts available.
So what say you Q10 and Q5 users - is this a feature you're anxious to have? Or one you can do without?
