how to accept keyboard shortcuts when jframe is not in focus?

I made an application using java which takes and stores screenshots in the specified folder. I set the shortcut ctrl+K to take and save the screenshot and I managed to make my application minimize to system tray when minimize button of jframe is pressed, but the problem is the keyboard shortcut assigned doesn't works as soon as jframe is either minimized or is put in background by some other application, Is it possible to make d application work even when JFrame is not in focus? Please help! Thanks! (I am making the application for windows only)
