But, I'm curious, why? I can see the desire with the devices that have buttons, but, I don't see an advantage for the Clara HD.
A patch is unlikely, since this is hardcoded in multiple places, and I don't think it's worth the effort (for the record, I was interested in this for myself). A hook might be possible though.

For the Clara HD, I'd want inverted portrait to be able to hold it from the top side more easily, or to be able to put the plug out the top when doing stuff with it plugged in over USB.
