How to reset focus point to the center point on 6D?

I've been driven crazy by this: Is there a quick way to one-press jump from any focus point to the center focus point on 6D? On my old 5D Mark 2 I can simply press down the muti-way controller. On 1D Mark 2 there is a quick reset button that quickly resets the focus point. But on 6D I have not found a way to do it. I want to use the "set" button to do this but can not find out how.

Please advise. Thanks!
 
This is something that has really annoyed me about the 6D. The answer is 'you can't '.
There has been some discussion on this before and Marsu42 has indicated that Magic Lantern have included it in their software, but that obviously means you must install ML to get the feature.

I see no reason whatsoever for the 'SET' button on the 6D not to be used as a 'back to centre point' button. In my post on this about six months ago I thought it must be a programming error, it's such a daft omission, but now it looks like it's deliberate. Ouch ! I use the toggle a lot on the 5DII and find the 8 way controller on the 6D wholly inferior.

Thanks a lot Sporgon. That was my suspicion. Unbelievable.
