WIth trapping commandkeydown messages, if you're working in the IDE you do have to be sure that you're paying attention to existing commandkey shortcuts. If the user types ctrl-A and the focus is on an editable field then the text of the field will be selected and your own handler won't fire off. If this is a standalone then you have more control.
