Answer 1

I've used this code in my forms before and it seems to work pretty good.

Protected Overrides Function ProcessKeyPreview(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) As Boolean
    If m.Msg = &H100 Then  'WM_KEYDOWN
        Dim key As Keys = m.WParam
        If key = Keys.S And My.Computer.Keyboard.CtrlKeyDown Then 
             'DO stuff
             Return True
        End If
    End If

    Return MyBase.ProcessKeyPreview(m)
 End Function
