Thats and interesting question. I don't think to much about how it works. Just happy to know it just works. You can find good information on this topic by doing a search. Here's 2 links I found that explain the keyboard to computer part.
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/keyboard.htmhttp://www.beyondlogic.org/keyboard/keybrd.htmKeyboards send HEX codes that are converted by the computer keyboard BIOS to determine the keys pressed. My guess is the BIOS turns the keyboard input into binary code that is translated into ASCII Charter codes a program can use to interpret the inputs.

I am not sure if I am in the right place. But I will ask a question to find out. I am trying to create a step by step process of how a computer processes your keyboard input when writing a paper. I know nothing about programming and need direction. Could someone give me a hand, please?
