probably: but i'd suppose that as the number of buttons increases, it's even
more important to have the actions be consistent across the whole interface,
so you have no need to think about it.

as another aside, buxton et al had one scheme that used two devices, one in each hand,
the non-dominant hand positioning a partly-transparent control, and the dominant
hand operating on the things beneath the control.
