　I am using Acrobat Pro DC and making an original PDF form,  I want to jump to a certain text box if I push "ctrl + →"　key. Is anyone can help or ideas? like shortcut key or  "KeyDown" event of VBA

I am using Windows

Well, you can detect the control key and the keycode in a keystroke event. So yes you can do this, but it's tricky, because Acrobat overrides some keystroke combinations. If Acrobat is using it, then it won't be received by the keystroke event. Go ahead and try it to see what happens.

You can't really modify the default keystroke handling.
