I'm not so sure that's universal.  It seems like most applications on my
mac (TextEdit, IntelliJ IDEA, Mail, MacVim, Chrome, Firefox) use shift-^Z
for redo.  MS Word is an exception with ^Y, though.

I also checked on an Ubuntu box.  Still shift-^Z for most applications
(Thunderbird, gEdit, IntelliJ IDEA).  The only exception I could find was
Libreoffice with ^Y (probably mimicking MS Word).

For me shift-^Z feels more natural, anyway.
