How to capture the interesting key event in an add-in. For example, if user press TAB key, I would like to do other thing instead of insert a tab.
I read throught the "Automation and Environment Reference" in MSDN and can not figure out how to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Add-ins and macros can´t do that, they can capture only new line events.

Maybe with a VSIP package: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/
