Create custom keyboard shortcut? (Redo = Ctrl+Y)

Is it possible to create a custom keyboard shortcut in MicroStation that will perform a Redo command using Ctrl+Y?

I recently purchased a gaming mouse with programmable buttons and I have already assigned Undo (Ctrl+Z) and Redo (Ctrl+Y) to some buttons. Ctrl+Y appears to be the Windows standard for Redo. I might be able to program a button to achieve Redo with Ctrl+R (as required by MicroStation), but I would prefer a single button for the operation in all programs.

    I dont think you can reprogram the existing  keyboard short cuts or make new ones they  are Hardwired so to speak..

    However as you have already  discovered you can custom program the  commands to your mouse

    Are you aware another  option is you can also custom program commands to the  Function keys if you dislike Control R

    The command keyin is  REDO and you can put this into say the F1 key which by  default is the help but help also has a  pull down  so sacrificing  F1 isnt  too painful so now you would have  for redo a single  key ie  F1..

    go to workspace > function keys then in the  section for F1   where it says help just overtype it with REDO and press ok  it should then work as you like...
