System-wide hotkeys - how to programmatically define global keyboard shortcuts?

Question

How program to interrogate Win7, to get a list of active active shortcuts all ?

Scenario

Many versions of Windows have a so-called “Windows Key,” also known as a “flag,” “start key,” etc.

Microsoft has a support article called “Hot Keys for Windows,” which lists many of them in the “Microsoft Natural Keyboard Keys” section, and like many others, you should not use a “Windows Key,” such as global Ctrl+ C, etc.

Other keyboard shortcuts can be detected by accident. For example, Windows Key + Left arrowor Right arrowin Win7 moves a focused window around the display and with multiple monitors from one display to the next.

In the settings "options" you can find other keyboard shortcuts, for example, Left- Ctrl+ Alt+ Kby default - "Show KeePass window".

In addition, there may be hardware special keyboard shortcuts, for example, on my laptop, Fn+ F8toggles the lowering of the speakers.
