How do you make buttons on the keyboard do things in game?

From the top menu bar on the AGS editor, click on "Script", then from the drop-down menu select "on_key_press". You will be taken to the part of the global script that handles key presses and should see a list of functions already programmed in as default. You can edit as you like, or add in for more keys if you like (each Key pressed would have a different number though of course according to the ASCII code).

Below is a typical list of ASCII code relating to common setup of most keyboards:
