Sophie,
Thanks for the feedback. The "clash" with McPhling is unfortunate, but it has to be that way. If you map a key using QLaunch, then I have to be the one and only to handle it. Perhaps you could map the Menu key using the voice recorder and that would not conflict with McPhling then?? Several others have mentioned they do this because it is easy to access in their hand.
