If you want it to work outside the program, use a keyboard hook (I've shown one in a GP+ post).

Otherwise, just do a Form_KeyDown event.

I don't know quite what you're getting at.

Do you mean that you want the application to recieve the keystroke even when it's not being focused?

If so, you need to use a KeyBoard hook.

Otherwise, just go to the Form Designer, select the title bar of your form (to select it as the control), go to the Events (it's a lightning bolt symbol) in the properties, and double click on "Form_Keydown" or something like that.

Ok, you need a keyboard hook.

Go to the General Programming + section, and check out my post on creating a Static Keyboard Hook in C#.
