I remember I've seen it, but couldn't find it... Thanks a lot :)

The "personally" part convinced me to make it configurable :)
I personally think it should not, it make the keys' usage inconsistent
and I always liked global "keys" for Volume/Media.

The Volume Keys are already incosistent, if you are in landscape mode
the + is the right most one, while if you are in portrait mode
(e.g. in a Call), then the + becomes the left most one.
Makes sense in Call as the + key should be the top one, but in
portrait they could've stick with it instead of swapping them.
