Solution 1

set the ShortcutKeys property to Alt+F7 and write this:

C#

private void yourToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           Form2 frm2 = new Form2();
            frm2.ShowDialog(); 

        }

hope it helps :)

Solution 2

I would use KeyDown event instead of KeyPress. Here is an example.

C#

private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Modifiers == Keys.Alt && e.KeyCode == Keys.F7)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Hello!");
    }
}

Of course instead of MessagBox you will want to show your form. :)
