Shortcut shortcut = Shortcut.fromKeys(Key.LCONTROL, Key.LSHIFT, Key.D);
JInputHook.addShortcutListener(shortcut,
new ShortcutListener() {
@Override
public void shortcutTriggered(Shortcut shortcut) {
System.out.println("shortcutTriggered(" + shortcut + ").");
}
}
);
For keyboard listener:
// Initialize
JInputHook.initialize();
// Register global keyboard listener
JInputHook.addListener(new GlobalKeyListener() {
@Override
public void keyPressed(Key key) {

Linux
On Linux you need to adjust permissions of /dev/input/event* to can read:
sudo chmod o+r /dev/input/event*
Or, according with distro, create a new dev rule file on /etc/udev/rules.d/YOUR-FILE-NAME.rules:
