Hotkey - Bossk - Jun 17, 2018
I'm trying to setup a simple hotkey for my app so that when the user hits CTRL + C when the app is minimized certain code will still be executed. Best and easiest way to achieve this?

These are usually called Low Level Keyboard Hooks, there’s quite a few examples on the Internet, most of them will probably be detected as keyloggers. Here’s an old example

I don't know How to do This , But if I'm welling to do such thing I'll create a menu give it a shortcut Ctrl + C and hide it , write your code on it .
I think this is the simplest way to do it , Plus it will work as long as the form is on focus .

Easiest way is to use the Form KeyDown event.
PHP Code
<?php
private void FormMain_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Modifiers == Keys.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.C)
{
// Do something
}
}

It won't work if the application is not on focus just like what OP said (after minimized).
