I can see where this may be a bit of a PITA if using a mouse, (personally dont like them on a machine) and although I have a trackball it would still be a PITA to have to move over to reset. I use touch screens so its not an issue for me but if it was then I think the way I would do things is fit a momentary switch on the panel to do the reset, as long as you have one spare input it would be easy to do.
