Remap default acknowledge?

I had to map my pedals to controller1 to work around the bug regarding pedal mapping (start game with only pedals, map them, then restart with HOTAS & throttle to complete setup).  However this creates a recurring problem during the campaign in that every time it wants to acknowledge a popup it is looking for a button on controller 1.  There is none on my pedals so I have to switch to mouse&keyboard to continue.  I have nothing other than yaw mapped to the pedals in all the options so don't know why it keeps looking for a button on it.  Anyone else figure out how to fix this?  Or is there another way to map pedals so I can keep my stick in slot 1?

    @TjckTock Seems to me like something that joystick gremlin could help with. Worth a try. I use it to adjust curves and to workaround hotasx deadzone, but there's way more things you can do with it. Hope it helps! Good hunting!

    Found a solution.  In Documents\STAR WARS Squadrons Steam\settings there is a file: ProfileOptions_profile_synced

    I was able to edit that manually.  When I relaunched SWS, it said I was unsync'd with the cloud but gave me the option to upload my local version.  Worked.  Below are the exact edits I made.  There are also some sensitivity and deadband options which could be useful.

    1) towards the top of the file are entries:

    GstInput.JoystickDevice1 MFG Crosswind V2

    GstInput.JoystickDevice2 Joystick - HOTAS Warthog
    GstInput.JoystickDevice3 Throttle - HOTAS Warthog
    GstInput.JoystickDevice4 MFG Crosswind V2

    I changed it to:

    GstInput.JoystickDevice1 Joystick - HOTAS Warthog
    GstInput.JoystickDevice2 Throttle - HOTAS Warthog
    GstInput.JoystickDevice3 MFG Crosswind V2
    GstInput.JoystickDevice4 MFG Crosswind V2

    2) Then I did a few simple search and replace operations:

    Search for "deviceid 2" Replace with "deviceid 9"

    Search for "deviceid 0" Replace with "deviceid 2"

    Search for "deviceid 1" Replace with "deviceid 0"

    Search for "deviceid 9" Replace with "deviceid 1"
