Catch keystrokes, no focus

[Matthew]

I want to create a program that runs in the system tray and watches for key
combinations (Ctrl. + Shift + 1, for example) and performs an action
associated with that combination.
The catch is there is another program will have focus when those keys will
be pressed, and needs to keep focus.

Can this be accomplished?
