Focus window wpf on the shortcut key

Question

I created a WPF application, where if the user press ctl + alt + s, I need to focus the text field of the WPF application.

Example: if you press ctl + w, the website will automatically open.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use InputBindings , define a KeyBinding and create a command that focuses.

<Window.InputBindings> <KeyBinding Command="{Binding MyFocusCommand}" Key="S" Modifiers="Control+Alt"/> </Window.InputBindings> 

Answer 2

You can subscribe to the PreviewKeyDown event:

 private void Window_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (Keyboard.Modifiers == (ModifierKeys.Control | ModifierKeys.Alt) && e.Key == Key.S) { textBox1.Focus(); } } 

Answer 3

You can achieve this using a hook with a low-level keyboard
