C # / WPF hotkey on unfocused form (e.g. launch)

Question

Is it possible to catch a hot key (for example, Ctrl+ Space) from an unfocused form so that it is displayed whenever someone uses this special hot key; And without the need to register this hotkey in the registry. A similar event can be seen in the application "Launchy".

Answer 1

You need to call the RegisterHotKeyAPI function .
Here is the WPF shell.

Answer 2

I think you will need to do this in active form by handling the KeyDown event
