What will you do with it at that point? The cRIO doesn't have a keyboard, so it's not expecting any keyboard commands.

Now my question is - how do the VI's communicate between My Computer and the cRIO?

They communicate using the proprietary (but not exactly secret) DS-to-cRIO data exchange protocol implemented by the Driver Station application. Four joysticks (each with up to six axes and twelve buttons) are supported, along with a small number of analog and digital values associated with the Cypress interface board, and a bunch of control information such as robot mode and alliance color. There is no provision I'm aware of for general keyboard input.
I don't have any idea what you want to use a joystick-to-keyboard translation for. If what you want to do were possible, can you describe how you would use it? Give an example of what the operator would do, and what the result would be.
