The recent 2.0 OS update changed the functions of the physical buttons of the music controller to be volume up/down instead of skip/pause as they were before.
I realize lots of folks might want volume controls to be what they use the buttons for, but I rarely need to change the volume of the music I'm playing. I mostly want to be to skip forward (to the next song) or back to the previous song. The Pebble Time Steel had the music controls down perfectly. Top right: skip back, middle: pause/play, bottom right: skip forward.
The thing I want to do is be able to press a button--without having to look at my watch--to skip, pause/play, skip back. Not having to look at my watch is what made the Pebble so useful.
It would be nice if the function of the physical buttons was user-selectable to match their usage.

Customizable buttons to get to the apps I want would be a great feature.
In this case, what I would like is for the physical buttons while in the music controls to be assignable, so that I could assign them to skip/pause/play instead of volume.
Basically, I'm far more likely to want to skip/pause/play/skip back than I'd want to change the volume. Especially where I'm in a scenario where I don't want to have to look at my watch to perform the action.
Thank you for pointing me at the other feature suggestion, I did vote for it. Not quite the same as I'm asking for here.
