I'm not sure what you're getting at... do you want to set up your remote 
to emulate your keyboard, or your keyboard to emulate your remote?  If 
the former, you could just use a learning remote to learn keys from the 
keyboard (i.e., have the FF key on the remote 'learn' the '->' key from 
the keyboard).  A number of folks have done this with good results.  If 
you want to do it the other way around (have your keyboard send codes 
from one of your remotes) I have to ask... why?  This is probably a Bad 
Idea(tm), as you wouldn't really gain anything & the keyboard would 
probably cease to work as a keyboard.
