This worked on a Console, i want the same without cancelling it! https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/System.Console.CancelKeyPress?view=net-6.0

  private void Form1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
  {
      KeysConverter convertor = new KeysConverter();
      string keyPressed = convertor.ConvertToString(e.KeyChar);
      if (keyPressed == "t")
      {
          Console.WriteLine("THIS IS T");
      }
  }

Try this in your Form1.cs

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
{
    if (keyData == Keys.T)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("THIS IS T");
    }

    return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
}

As I understood, you put the focus on a button B and defined that if the A key is pressed, the code related to the A button will be executed.

Use code:

protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message message, Keys KeyData)
{
    switch (KeyData)
    {
        case Keys. A:
            MessageBox.Show("Hello");
            break;
    }
    return true;
}
