You have to use host platform API (Win32).

I guess this one is what you need:

Then put GetHWND of some of your TopWindows in there and override

virtual LRESULT Ctrl::WindowProc(UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

(Do not forget to call TopWindow::WindowProc at the end).

I'm interested in global(system)keyboard too.
but in linux how it can be realized? Is the standard method?
For X11 I found here:

int XGrabKey(Display *display, int keycode, unsigned int
modifiers, Window grab_window, Bool owner_events, int pointer_mode, int keyboard_mode);
int XUngrabKey(Display *display, int keycode, unsigned int
modifiers, Window grab_window);

Maybe it is time to add cross method in u++?
