Then the keypreview and form keypress is what you need to do. The hotkeys will work even when the application does not have focus.

By buttons, I mean actual button controls on the form instead of keyboard buttons .

ie

[Start]
[Cough] [Sleep] [Movement] [Cry]
[Stop]

It will stop users having to remember which key is which .
