Check the following two messages and test to see which suits your desired
behavior

on keydown

on rawkeydown

in the dictionary.  Basically, you check which key code was sent and pass it
if you want to ignore it, or do an action, then choose to pass it anyway.

This will work even if a user is typing into a field, so this would
intercept keystrokes at anytime.

Adding modifier keys is done this way
if the commandkey is down then =>
if the commandkey is down and the shiftkey is down then =>
