For windows application, set KeyPreview property of Form to True and handle key (KeyPress, KeyDown....) events.

how do i choose which key

Set KeyPreview Property of Form1 at design time.

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
            MsgBox("F1 is pressed")
        Else
            If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then
                MsgBox("Esc is pressed")
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
