Question

See more:

i would like to create a windows form which will remap/customize the key, say i change the "Insert" to "Ctrl + A", disable windows key, or "F12" for "shut down".

These shortcut will only apply whenever the application is open.

Please tell us what does it mean "application is open"? How can it be related to shortcuts?

For example: when the application is running, the windows key is disabled, once i close the application file, then everything back to normal. Application here means the exe file i created with visual studio

This is complete abuse: "when the application is running, the windows key is disabled". We cannot discuss it unless you explain your ultimate goal of all this, as you see it.

Seems obvious what the OP wants, to me. He wants to be able to globally remap keys in the Windows OS - so while his application is running, anyone pressing , say, the 'A' key in Notepad would see an 'X' being typed.

I don't have a solution though ;)
