Need Key Functions

I am looking for some key codes. These would be really handy:

1. 'Status Line' show/hide

2. Open 'Recent Apps' screen

3. Is 'Browsing History' no longer supported since Android 4.0 or 4.1? It used to be Ctrl+H. Sounds useful to me!

4. 'Home' and 'End' for Android browsers?

Recent Apps is either Ctrl+Tab or Alt+Tab. It can also be brought up by the "Switch" or "APP_SWITCH" key codes, if your keyboard layout file has it.
