See GM:KeyPress for an alternative that uses IN enum. See GM:PlayerButtonUp for the "key release" event.

Arguments

1 Player ply
Player who pressed the button
2 number with BUTTON_CODE enum button

Example

Prints the person who pressed the key if it is the T key.

hook.Add( "PlayerButtonDown", "PlayerButtonDownWikiExample2", function( ply, button ) if button != KEY_T then return end if CLIENT and not IsFirstTimePredicted() then return end print( ply:Nick() ) end)
