Can I assign the Escape key to a mouse button?

Hello,

As a former AutoCAD user, I like being able to use the Escape key to end the current command. I already know how to allow this in Workspace>Preferences>Input.

I have also played around a bit with button assignments and can see how that works.

What I cannot see, however, is a way of assigning the Escape key to a mouse button, so that I can use a side button to end a command. Does anyone know if this is possible? I'm using V8i.

Thanks for your help.

    MicroStation's command engine works like this...

    1. Start a command (e.g. place line)
    2. That command remains active until you do one of those...
      • Start a another command
      • Key-in null

    As notes, the Reset button often does what's required.  There's no need to stop a command.

    A command can be interrupted by a view command (e.g. zoom).  Exit the view command with Reset (right-click) to return to your current active command.
