Maybe this will help

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyDown
        If e.KeyCode = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F11 Then
            MsgBox("F11 Key was pressed")
        End If
End Sub

You can make it a menu option in your main form and set the ShortcutKeys property for that menu item.

​

sample code for Click event of menu item:

Form2.Show()
