Map gear centering button to yoke?

I was hoping it would be possible to map the gear centering button to my yoke for ease of use. It's hard to land, then cycle to view down to the pedestal in order to use this centering mechanism. Thanks.

According to the manual ‘B-52 Driver’ FLIGHT MANUAL Part II – Aircraft and Systems page 24:

40. LANDING GEAR LEVER
A landing gear lever is located on the pilots' instrument panel ahead of the aisle stand. Positions of the lever are GEAR UP-GEAR DOWN.

So there is no center position on the gear lever.

I was referring to the gear centering mechanism utilized for crosswind landings.

Anyone know how to do this? It would make crosswind operations a "breeze".

I tried to do a cross wind landing and it is almost impossible to look down to use the crab wheel. I too would like to hear how others are doing this.
