How to implement a system-level shortcut in WPF

Question

I need some shortcut keys in my WPF application. I found this post.

However this link seems to be about application/window level in WPF. For example, the shortcut key is only working in a specific window.

However, what I need is for system&global level. For example, the application is launched but it has been minimized. When my mouse is focused on some other placed in desktop, I click "ctrl+alt+a", then the application will be maximized(or any other operations will be down in the application).

How could I implement such system-level shortcut keys?
