TForm component has an event handler "OnKeyDown" in which we can check if a 
particular key is pressed while our form is active/infocus.
I have two question regarding the "OnKeyDown" functionality;
    1-) If our application consists of many forms, including forms loaded 
dynamically from DLLs, how we can centralize the "OnKeyDown" event handler?
    2-) Similar to the "OnKeyDown" event handler, I want to be able to 
capture/monitor  if a particular key combination is pressed in Windows 
regardless of which application is active/infocus at a given time. How can I 
do this ?

Thx.
