Werewolve mentioned correct link!

When application is minimized it will not receive any keyboard input. Otherwise applications would not who was the keyboard target.

If you want your application to receive signal when specific keys combination where pressed you should register this combination by calling RegisterHotKey Windows API function.

Your form showing/maximising action could be invoked by this signal/

Set Form Propertie "KeyPreview" = true.

Then use this code:

        private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyCode == Keys.B)
        {
            WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
        }
    }
