I want to write an add-in that traps a particular keystroke, say, Ctrl+F8,
in the source code editor to perform a specific function. Can anyone tell me
how to trap the keystroke ? I have looked at the LineChanged event but this
appears to be activated only when the line is completed.

Your add-in should create DTE command and then create a keyboard binding for
the command using the Command.Bindings object.
