# Introduction

Ever wondered how [some applications](https://www.cnet.com/how-to/open-programs-with-keyboard-shortcuts-in-windows-10/) are able to popup once you press some specific hotkey? Well, that's the solid and creative work of hotkey listeners**,** and that's what this library is here for.

[**Hotkey Listener**](https://github.com/Willy-Kimura/HotkeyListener) is a [.NET](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/) [library](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/) that allows registering system-wide hotkeys that can be used to trigger features in your .NET applications. It also provides support for enabling standard Windows and User controls to select hotkeys at runtime using the **Hotkey Selector** class.
