The issue is that the spring returns the hub to low gear, to upshift, you have to push against the spring. This is backwards to Sturmey Archer hubs.
Don't know any way to change the factory shifters to do what you want.
There are aftermarket shifters that you might find more to your liking, but they ain't cheap.

Jtek Bar-end Shifter
And, thank you very much for your earlier comment. I always appreciate feedback.
