You can check for all keys in event arguments
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Alt && e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.A)
{
//do something
}
}

The question was about all keys, to create a hotkeys combination, so chekcing every property in 'e' isn't a good idea. – prvit Jun 11 '14 at 09:00

If you want to find which keys are pressed, you could do this,
if ((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Alt) == ModifierKeys.Alt) // Is Alt key pressed
{
if (Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.LeftCtrl) && Keyboard.IsKeyDown(Key.A))
{
MessageBox.Show("Key pressed");
}
}
