I had hoped the commands might appear in the Keyboard shortcuts but they don’t.
It doesn’t seem to be possible through MapBasic.
One option could be to use the WIN API methods for sending a keystroke. I think it’s called SendKey or similar.
Not sure how stable that would be?

MapBasic IDE compiles my MB program without errors, but at runtime MapInfo returns the following error "External library does not containSENDKEYC. Unable to read application file". No error number.

The can be a couple of things that makes Pro complain about the missing method.
Here’s how I typically declare a .NET in my MapBasic source
Declare Method FILEBrowseForFolder
Class "FILELib.Files" Lib "FILELib.dll" Alias "BrowseForFolder"
( ByVal sDescription As String 'Text to display in the dialog
, ByVal sFolder As String 'Start folder to use in the dialog
) As String
1. Declare Method is right syntax for declaring .NET methods for use in your MapBasic code
2. I never give a path to the file
3. Remember to include the namespace
4. Remember to add potential parameters and be sure to use the right types.

My VB.NET code:
Namespace MyApp1
Public Class SENDKEY2MAPINFO
Public Shared Function SENDKEYX(s_key As String) As String
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys(s_key, True)
Return 0
End Function
End Class
End Namespace
s_key="C"
retval = SENDKEYX(s_key)
Public Class SENDKEY2MAPINFO
Public Shared Function SENDKEYX(s_key As String)
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys(s_key, True)
Return 0
End Function
End Class
End Namespace

Should your method also specify the parameter as ByVal?
