Set the KeyPreview property for the form to true, and override the ProcessCmdKey() method.

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData) 
{ 
    if (keyData == (Keys.Control | Keys.A)) 
    { 
        // do asomething 
        return true; 
    } 
    return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData); 
}

Solution 1

If you set the KeyPreview property on you main form to true, then you should be able to catch any keypresses for the form in the key KeyDown event. You should check for any keys you want there.
