HOW TO REMAP CAPACITIVE BUTTONS ON GALAXY S6
If you're left handed like me, then you might wanna remap your capacitive buttons if you use the back key more often than the multitask button.
You can remap many other buttons such as volume keys and the power button, just use some logic and you'll figure it out.
As we progress on, you'll realize that there are many more things you can remap other than the physical buttons.

1. You'll need root access for this, otherwise it won't let you edit the file
2. Go to Play Store and download the app called Total Commander (you can use any other file manager that supports root, but this one worked best for me)
3. Open the app, and go to File system root
4. Go to data folder and when it asks you, grant it the permissions
5. Go back and go to the system folder, then to the usr folder and then to the keylayout folder
6. Long press on the Generic.kl file and click on Open as, then on Text and then select Totalcmd Editor
7. Now click on the magnifying glass icon without an arrow in the top right corner
8. Search for the word BACK, but select the Whole Words checkbox
9. Change it to APP_SWITCH (make sure it's capitalized!)
10. Search again for the word MENU and change it to BACK (there may be two MENU words in the file so search twice)
11. Search for the word APP_SWITCH and change it to BACK
12. Click on the Floppy disk icon on the top of the window and then click OK
13. Exit and close the application
14. Reboot your device and enjoy!
