Customize mouse for rtrot with shift/lmb or similar. Can't use mmb.

Hello, I have a mouse with a scroll wheel and I find it difficult to use for the real time sphere command (rtrot). I have to press very hard for some reason and I've found this with other "meeces" as well.. Anyway, I use control, left mouse button for this command in another application. How can I customize this? I've tried based on a how to video but it's not what I'm after. I want the command to be active only while pressing the ctrl or shift key - then to go away when I release.
Idealy, I would also be able to select an entity first, then use the command to rotate around it.
thanks..
Scott

    Ctrl+Shift+RMB is pan, and Ctrl+RMB is a sort of rotate view. These are set by default.

    I just checked. Under tools there's "customize" which should let you do what you want.

    Yes, I've tried the customization. It gives me access to the command in the right click menu. What I was after was a real time sphere command active only when the shift or ctrl was pressed - simliar to the pan and rotate view you described. Maybe this is all hard coded so I can't have this type of functionality.. If so that's fine - I'll use the right click menu. I'm just trying to get BC set up to what I'm used to, but I can adapt as well.
    Thanks for the reply.
