Quick dial

BlackBerries as well as Symbian phones have the possibility to assign a contact's phone number to a key on their keyboard (usually hardware). Long-press on that key then dials the number assigned. This can be done at any place no matter of the current place in the UI.

It would be great to have such functionality in Sailfish as well. With VKB there needs to be a simple way to raise it anywhere in the UI. I thought about a tripple tap, swipe with two fingers or something similarly simple which will not conflict with the common gestures.
