the only keyboard presses that can cause a response from the script are.

via llTakeControls
Move forward control (↑ or W)
Move back control (↓ or S)
Move left control (⇧ Shift-← or ⇧ Shift-A [← or A in mouselook])
Move right control (⇧ Shift-→ or ⇧ Shift-D [→ or D in mouselook])
Rotate left control (← or A)
Rotate right control (→ or D)
Move up control (PgUp or E)
Move down control (PgDn or C)
Left mouse button control
Left mouse button control while in mouselook

or via gestures (which can work with the function keys F2-F12 and can be combined withe ctrl or shift), you can chat control messages to a script listening with llListen

Another , very unsecure approach is to make a gesture that "Says" a command on a channel the prim is listening for.  You press the key for the gesture,  it says the command, the prim hears it and acts appropriately.

 

 I am not at home so cannot give you an example gesture right now.  If you would like one IM me in-world and I will give it to you later today when I can get online.

An alternative to the responses already mentioned is:

You could use a virtual keyboard (or just buttons) by making a HUD that interacts with your in-world prim.
