Global Hotkey Management
tranglos:
Would it be possible as a programmer to "try a given hotkey" and see which programs/ processes "respond" to it? Something like FileMon but more like KeyMon?

I don't think this is possible. When a program tries to register a hotkey, Windows may return an error code meaning that the hotkey is already in use. But AFAIK there is no API function to check which process has registered any given hotkey.

What I mean is that when a key is pressed a processes memory usage might shoot up or a window open... maybe these could be watched by supremely talented programs...

Those heuristics would be too uncertain to go by...

I know, but if you have to know the answer you might be tempted to try watching a process viewer like prcview or process-tamer (I haven't tried this one) and GUESS an answer. So the computer could make a more educated guess (I'm guessing).

MerleOne has gone quiet on this one. Have you found a solution? :-\
