How to set hotkeys for a Windows Forms form

Question

I would like to set hotkeys in my Windows Forms form. For example, Ctrl + N for a new form and Ctrl + S for save. How would I do

Answer 1

You can set it using a hidden menu too, if you want. Just set the property of menu.visible = false;

Answer 2

First, you need to handle the KeyDown event, and then you can start watching out for your modifiers:

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.S)
    {
        //Do whatever
    }
}

Of course, you need to make sure your form subscribes to the KeyDown event.
