Welcome to makestation by the way Lain.
I didn't realize we were connected to the wired
You're not connected to the Wired, but the Wired is connected to everything
But yes, honestly programming something like that is trivial, an interrupt with a jump table based on key, and mappings to keystrokes based on which key is pressed. Would take an hour at most, just for me to check documentation on interrupts and whatever high-abstraction library functions allow keystrokes.
