If you want to fire a button's clickwith enter you should go to the form contains that button and set AcceptButton property value to that button.

Also if you set a button to CancelButton property of a form button's click is fired by esc key.

For other shortcuts you should put & just before the character that you want to be shortcut in button's text property.

Example

if you set a text property of button to &Add alt+a fires that buttons click.
