Systray App responding to keyboard shortcuts

Hey all,

I am wondering if its possible to have a .NET windows app that runs
hidden (as NotifyIcon) that can still respond to keyboard shortcuts.

For example, my app is running on the sys tray and I am currently in MS
Word.
I press a short cut (CTRL+ SHIFT + S) and my app's main form shows.

Also, what are the considerations if the active application has the
same shortcut mapped to do something?

Many thanks,
Steven Nagy

Steven, you can use nxSharp ActionList, third-party component for .NET.
It maintain Global shortcuts and others cool features.
