Assuming it is a chm-file you want to show, you should use
System.Windows.Forms.Help
So listen to a key stroke, and show your chm-file:
void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.H)
Help.ShowHelp(this, "my.chm");
}
If you wanted to listen for a key stroke globally, than look at this:
