I know that the search key on the phone can be pressed in conjunction 
with a letter and or number which is often assignable but in later 
versions of android seems to be hidden but is still there. On my phone, 
I had to find a program called settings search and when I ran it, I 
searched for quicklaunch and the quicklaunch screen appeared, and acted 
just like when I could find it in the application settings in earlier versions.
Here you can use the up and down arrows and get to the letter or number 
you want to use as a shortcut, hit enter or select on that, and you'll 
get a list of your apps on the phone, which you up and down arrow 
through until you find which one you want the shortcut to activate. Hit 
enter or select on that and you'll hear that if you arrow away and back 
to it, that the shortcut will be assigned to the app you chose for it.
I've only seen this with the search key and only on my phone so don't 
know how it works on a tablet, but if the tablet works like the phone 
does, then the home key takes you to the home screen, minimizing the 
currently running apps, but not killing them. Kind of like the windows 
m combo does on the desktop.
A long press of enter one one of theses letters will give you a context 
sensitive menu which you can remove the assignment of the key to a 
shortcut for example.
Sorry for the long rambling post, but hth...
Cheereo!
