VDJ7 4 Decks - selecting decks on controller

I figured out how to map the "hotcue 5,6,7,8" to make decks 1,2,3,4 the active deck but I would like to have this

left pause button to toggle 1 & 3
and
right pause button to toggle 2 & 4



the only way I could accomplish this was to use the hot cue 5,6,7,8 and change their function to:

hot_cue 5 = deck 1 select & deck 1 leftdeck

hot_cue 6 = deck 2 select & deck 2 rightdeck

hot_cue 7 = deck 3 select & deck 3 leftdeck

hot_cue 8 = deck 4 select & deck 4 rightdeck

This works but there are two downsides: 1, I lose the ability to delete hotcues from the controller and 2, I have to hold the shift button to switch decks.

sorry, i'm no help with VDJ...
