    IAccelerator acc=document.Accelerators.FindByKey(keyC, true, false, false);
    if (acc != null)
    {
        UID commandID=acc.CommandID as UID;
        Debug.WriteLine(commandID.Value);
        Debug.WriteLine(acc.Key);
        Debug.WriteLine((System.Windows.Forms.Keys)acc.Key);
        //Output
        //{A33D9405-7ED5-11D0-8D7C-0080C7A4557D}
