Grade scheme display for category averages in gradebook

In several of my courses, I grade on a 4-point basis, but rather than going through the hassle of changing the grading scheme for each assignment, I simply make each one worth four points. However, the gradebook calculates the average for each grading category in terms of percentages. If I were to use the GPA Scale grading scheme (ideally, modified to omit pluses and minuses) on each assignment, would Canvas still show the average in terms of a percentage? Right now, a student who has an average of 2 appears to be failing, with an average grade of 50%, while in fact they actually have a C in the class.
