You'll find that most applications with this functionality are copying
the C code from libtomboy and using it. I do not know of any way to
do it in C# (obviously you could rewrite libtomboy in C# using
DllImports, but I'm not sure that would buy you anything).
On Windows, we use a different hotkey library (which is just a wrapper
around some C stuff, too). We currently don't support any hotkeys on
the Mac (but I'm sure it would involve native code).
The code in libtomboy is MIT/X11, so feel free to use it in your application.
Best,
Sandy
