That article helps you to reach your application with a keypress even
if your application is not active:

I wouldn't think a global keyboard hook plays a role in the monitoring of the
clipboard. You would just periodically, in a timer event, look at the
Clipboard contents. As far as a keyboard listener, you have you have been
pointed in a directon toward that.
