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

Question

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...

The Ctrl keys used in MicroStation are all hard-coded into the software and would have to be reprogrammed if you wanted to change what each of them is being used for. As you have already started to reprogram the buttons on your gaming mouse I would suggest continuing to do this for the REDO command. It sounds like you probably already know how this could be achieved but the following Wiki should be of some help in achieving this.
