So, here's the thing. I used an app called "Cometin" to try and remap the button. It didn't work (although, click and hold home button to summon assistant was successfully remapped) and when I got in toch with the developer, I was told,

"This appears to be difficult as the OS is calling google assistant directly."

If that's the case, I highly doubt it is possible to remap the button without root. I don't believe motorola will provide and update to allow remapping.

Disable Google Assistant Button

I hate this button. I wish manufacturers would stop shoving non customizable hardware bundled with unwanted software combo on to our devices. I guess this is the compromise that Motorola has made, in place of the usual plethora of software bloatware.

Is there a way to even disable this button? I read elsewhere that setting the 'default assistant app' to 'None', disables this button (instead of remapping it). Has anyone tried this? :)

Whoa, you mean you tried it on the one fusion+ and it worked? ? I guess I'll give it another go in that case

Well, I tried it again, and it still isn't working for me for the dedicated button. Can you confirm which version of the app & device software version you're using? :)
