IE Mobile, change left softkey?

[Guest Swampie]

After having lost 2 (long when composed on a Kaiser) posts due to tapping the left softkey button mid-post I want to change the left softkey assignment in IE Mobile. Anyone know how to do this?

You cannot i'm afraid.

I really sound like i'm plugging Opera today, but in Opera, the left soft key pops up a menu. Ironically, I wish it was a 'Back' key ;)

I use Opera Mobile for some things, but I prefer IE Mobile. It's okay when I'm using the keyboard, but if I'm using the on-screen keyboard, I sometimes (twice) just clip the left softkey and unfortunately, unlike on PCs, when I go back and then forward again, the details I put in the form the first time are lost.

I usually use the left soft key to (intentionally) go back, but more recently have start using the tap and hold context menu to go back as when it goes back, it does so to the same point on the page I was on before. Doing it via the soft key puts me at the top of the page. Depending on the site and whether I'll be following any more links/reading down further, it's annoying to have to re-scroll each time.
