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.
Thanks for point that out Anu,
But I still think F1 is wasted F key being duplicated in a pull down menu, and also from keyin window help is also a command so always available...
yes I know its a Windows MS convention to use F1 for help .. but microstation users are usually smarter than average MS windows product users ( well at least "smarter than the average bear boo boo") and the best part of mstn is being able to customise so much of what your want for increased productivity and personal preference.
And if our fellow user dislikes Ctr R so much then the F1 key is pretty handy being the first key next to esc and I'm sure he'll also find a use for F7 once he has seen how easy customising the F keys are....

In my opinion reassigning F1 is not a good idea. (Not only because it contradicts JJWutt's desire to unifiy the handling for all products)
Particularly because of this unique behavior:
Choose a function > then click into the TOOLS SETTINGS dialog > then press F1 ... this opens HELP FOR THE CURRENT FUNCTION
This is very helpful for everybody. And it eases finding how to use any particular microStation function. (even for the smartest microStation users) Don't you think? That much for the extend of my ever present signature being recognized in the first place...
