RFC: Expose button hints location for all watches

I found that button hints for the Fenix7 are available (see link below) and I would like them to be available as well for the Fenix 6 series. I can't seem to find them. I would be more than happy if I can find them in the simulator.json as there is already a "keys" section. Now, as I want Fenix 6, but I bet others would like to have them for other watches as well. So my question is: can we have them for all watches?

Simulator.json for a specific device will tell you the x/y as it relates to the sim,, but what you might want to do is just consider the angle for the 1,2, or 5 buttons.

The two top buttons for one with 5 are at 10 and 2, the middle at 9 oclock, and the two bottom, 8 and 4. You can calculate the spots based on the screen size, So angle and radius

So the buttons are at 60,120,180,240 and 300 degrees.

I'm asking for the x,y location of the buttons on the screen in an RFC (aka feature request).

You can ask in the f6 device forum https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/outdoor-recreation/f/fenix-6-series

but I doubt this will happen, as the f6 is the last generation of Fenix devices (not 2022).

If you want to do this in CIQ apps, today, you have to do it yourself.
