Any way to change console night button to night delay?

[wdeertz]

I have a bad habit of forgetting the security system is armed at night and will go on the back patio which immediately triggers the alarm when Armed Night. I have the patio door zone as an entry zone and have gotten into the habit of arming in Night Delay which gives me 60 seconds to disarm the system for those times I go on the patio at night after the system has been armed.

Is there any way to change the Night button on the console so it invokes the Arm Night Delay instead of the Arm Night? This will make it easier to arm this way.

WHEN ARM NIGHT
THEN PROGRAM ARM NIGHT DELAY
 
Should always change the mode to Night Delay if it starts arming in Night mode.
You could add a flag as a conditional to control when you wan it to happen if you don't want it to happen every time.

Thanks for the insights, I guess this would work with the caveat that I never arm in straight Night mode.  Or I suppose I could simply switch so When Arm Night Delay then Arm Night.  I and other users would just need to remember that the Night and Night Delay are switched.  I was thinking you could map the console Night Key to another option but I guess not.

The console keys are hard coded (at the console level I believe).

Correct.  The only way to change the behavior of the buttons is to use code.
 
I use the quick arm feature (double tap to arm) for my work alarm and to make sure nobody arms it in the wrong mode, I have the following code:
 
WHEN ARM DAY
WHEN ARM NIGHT
THEN PROGRAM ARM AWAY
