Like a hot key or just when you press a specific sequence of Keys? Next question is by save/delete/update is this code that you have already programmed.

There is a easy way to do this by prepending "&".

Refer- Creating Access Keys for Windows Forms Controls[^]

Quote:
set the Text property to a string that includes an ampersand before the letter that will be the access key. For example, to set the letter "P" as the access key, type "&Print" into the grid.

Otherwise go through Building Keyboard Accelerators into .NET Windows Forms Applications[^], if you want to assign keys according to your requirements.

to create hot key there are 2 ways;-

1) by changing the text of your button with "&".Like if you have a button "Save" And want to create a hot key you can change the name by "&Save" that will create a hot ket (Alt + S).

2) by adding the hot key on Form_KeyDown event. Like
for save you want (Control + S) then write

if(e.Control == true && e.KeyData == Keys.S)
{
    btnSave_Click(sender,e);
}

goto properties of button and set "text" like &Save, so alt+s is sortkey of that button

&Delete is alt+D
Upda&te is alt+T
