My team really wanted to do this, too, but we got worried about potential operator errors and haven't really gone through with it yet. The basic idea for us was to create a custom dashboard (using Processing) and having that take the WASDShift/arrow keys/mouse commands and send them to the robot via NetworkTables (we got the programme written but never tested it). The issue we were worried about was the driver accidentally pressing the space bar or return key while driving and potentially disabling the robot mid-match. In order to solve this potential issue, we were thinking of having something like a Raspberry Pi in-between a USB keyboard and the DriverStation computer which would take the input from the keyboard and send it to the DriverStation like a joystick. We never tried that out either, though...
