1. Create a demo project with 2 windows form

2. Then you can add the below code in your form1_keyDown event

```
if
(e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.N){     Form2
f2 = new Form2();     f2.Show();}
```

e.Control : This mean hold the control key

e.KeyCode == Keys.N: This mean press the N key form your keyboard
