The SU34 Effects script used a keypress to activate the afterburner if I remember correctly.

So, maybe by having a look at it you can figure out how to use a certain key for your script.

PS:

That is not the latest version of that script but I wasn't able to find that anywhere and it seems the creator left the community.

Look at the example for displaySetEventHandler.

The display event handler is probably the thing you want, but just for the sake of completeness...

You can also do it with an action if you want to tie it to a control function rather than a specific key (like "moveForward" as opposed to "w").

addAction ("Alternative Syntax")

key mapping

For example, you might make an afterburner that uses vehicle turbo to activate:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

_thrust = 50; // gets passed to afterburner.sqf as _this select 3

_plane addaction ["Afterburner", "afterburner.sqf", _thrust, 0, false, false, "heliFastForward"];

However, it clutters up the action menu and anyone can see/activate it if they're in range, so it's not appropriate for everything.
