Description

Like described in the title, it would be cool to add the possibility for the user to choose what is displayed on the top of columns for buttons.
In some cases, 2 buttons have the same letter which can be quite confusing (thinking about "right toggle difficulty" and "reset" which are both labelled as "r" for Atari 2600, but there are many more cases).

Research direction

Start in the TAStudio UI entry point and locate how button column headers and their mnemonics are currently assigned. Check the existing controls for Atari 2600 and verify that users can choose displayed mnemonics so otherwise-identical labels such as "r" become distinguishable.
