Use gtk_signal_connect to attach a key press event to a function 
(example):

gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (something), "key_press_event",
	GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (something_else), (gpointer) your_data);

Then declare the function to handle the events as such:

void KeyPressEvent (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventKey *event);

And inside the function, event->keyval contains the value of the key 
pressed.
