The only way I know of is to start a relatively fast send loop and check the keysdown(). For some things it works fine but for most other things its not a good answer since you can see if a key is down, but not how long its down, or tell if it has been pressed, then pressed again before the next loop cycle. All you can do is see that the key IS down.
If you wanted to say.. Have a loop processing something in the background, you could have it check the keysdown for <whatever keys you want here> and if they're present, use revspeak to say how far along the process is. If you want to do a real, accurate logging of keys though, I'd say its a no go.
