What you are searching for should be "global keyhook"

So? That is why they call it research and why Google was invented. Use Google and do some research.

So, far there is no problem "to help you get rid of". You just said that that you was unsuccessful, whatever you think that means. I got almost 6000 results for a simple google search and you found nothing at all?

Easily — just handle appropriate event. Which one and how? — it totally depends on the UI library and application type, something you did not bother to share with us.
