"permanently active" wouldn't be a lot of fun for your users because they wouldn't be able to use any other apps. Best option IMHO is to configure the window manager to run a particular command whenever F12 is pressed. The command might have to be a gambas script that then uses DBus to report back to your application that the key has been pressed.
