Form buttons should *already* be usable with keyboard:
http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/uaag10-chktable.html
Checkpoint 1.1 Full keyboard access. (P1) 
1.	Ensure that the user can operate through keyboard input alone any
user agent functionality available through the user interface.

Try it - tab through your form controls until you get to
the button in question. Then hit return.

If you want to have specific keys activating buttons, then try
the accesskey attribute.

Cheers
Martin
