The key will stay in place if it is brazed to the shaft, which immobilizes it (adhesives might work). You can also cut a light groove around the shaft for a retaining clip or e-clip.

Most gears and sprockets with finished bores have a standard keyway cut into the instead of square or hex shafts, when purchased from sources such as McMasterCarr and Grainger. One reason why keys are so common.
