The UI for customizing the list of controls that are shown is now completed and in GIT. Below the list of controls there is a small button which pops up a menu allowing arbitrary camera controls to be shown/hidden in the main UI. We record this choice in preferences on a per-camera model basis, so each camera you have can get a different set of preferences for controls to show in the UI.
