How can I get my application to become the key window by using a keyboard shortcut, when a user is using any application.

All the documentation I have found seems to be when the user is using the application already, but this isn't what I am looking for.
 
OK thanks.

I don't think that will solve my actually problem will it ?

What I mean is something like expose, spotlight, quicksilver etc

Whatever application you are in, you press the short cut and that application comes to the front
 
Yes it should work. I used it in a product a few years back to allow the user to perform an action in my program with a shortcut no matter what program they were in. Basically you would just use NSWorkspace's activateIgnoringOtherApps: method to make your app the frontmost app when the shortcut is used.
