Of course but if you make good notes you will know exactly where to make the changes and probably the changes will be identical. I posted a bit quickly but you need to find the "click back" gui area and the button area and map the same action to the middle button. Too quick in that you have to ignore preferences and all that stuff so there will be more to it. I have not looked. Maybe making all the choices for middle (01) button action the same. It is a bit bigger task than I first thought. It probably not a good idea to try unless it is a learning exercise.
