KeyDown is your friend ;) For example, if you want the shortcut key A while Shift is pressed, try this:

    void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.A && e.Shift) 
            // Do something
    }

If you want a "real" keyboard shortcut you can use hooks. Look at Stack Overflow question RegisterHotKeys and global keyboard hooks?.
