That's because it isn't supposed to. MDI parent forms automatically dispatch all key presses to the appropriate child (which is typically a tMainMenu or a tMDIChild).
If you want to intercept this you can proceed one of two ways:
1. Write a message handler function
2. Override the form's WndProc
Both ways are pretty much the same thing, but #1 is cleaner... You'll want to trap WM_KEYDOWN and/or WM_KEYUP.
Hope this helps.
