Solution 2

Set the keyPreview property to true
and code should be

C#

e.KeyCode.ToString() == "Q"

i have tested this code on my pc and it is working fine,follow these steps
1) Set the keypreview property of the form true
2) implement the above code in your form
3) run your project and press CTRL + Q on your form
and if still it is not working then check your keyboard's CTRL and Q key
