I want to use one launcher for work and one for home. Can I change which the "home" button defaults to based on a context?

I don't want to just launch the homescreen app, but change the default one either in settings or by using an app like homeswitcher or something similar.

Anyone able to help?

Thanks

Im trying exactly the same thing but cant find a solution either. Is
the not possible due to lack of a tasker action or due to amdroid?
Could a different app do it?

You can do this manually with Home Switcher (in the Android Market).
While it would be Really Nice if Tasker could do this, I'd rather see
more resources (aka time) put into Pent's (in beta) Zoom app, first...

Did this ever get nudged up the list to working?

I've made a suggestion to a few people asking about this, though none of them have told me if it works or not: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tasker/sf7hESvRcks/uPKT7veSrFYJ
Give it a try and let us know.
