Ability to reposition navigation gizmo

As a left handed pen user I'd appreciate being able to move the navigation gizmo to the left. I use it about as much as the alt key, but being on the right side makes it just a bit harder to reach than it needs to be. Practically everything else can be flipped already, so why not this too? I'd also expect it would improve accessibility for people who cannot use keyboards at all.

That's a realy good point. Blender should at least have a left handed mode in the preferences to do that

Yeah, would really love this - I have started to learn sculpting with an android tablet and a screen sharing app with my PC, basically making a cheap but effective Cintiq setup. Unfortunately, due to not having a middle mouse button on my pen, the only way to turn the screen is to use the navigation gizmo, and as it's on the top right and as I'm left-handed, turning my model means that I have to reach across the screen, obscuring the view with my hand and arm.

If there's any way to move the gizmo, that'd be great. =)

Forgot to point out that you can use this method to flip around the toolbar and sidebar.
