📄 Description

Takes the back button and allows the user to change the behavior of how it clicks the touchpad. The current options are left, right, center, and none. It currently defaults to left, but I am open to changing this if "None" seems to be a better default. I could also change this to just 2 floats from 0->1 for x and y if we want something more generic in the settings, but I am open to any feedback on this.
