You could have your script listen for a 'keyup' event, but you would
have to make sure you release the key after the DOM for the page has
finished loading, of which there is no visual indication.
Why don't you just add a button to the page to run the script? E.g.
function Main(){
GM_addStyle('.myButtonDiv {color: black; background-color: pink}');
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.setAttribute('class', 'myButtonDiv');
div.innerHTML = '<input type="button" value="click to run
MyScript">';
document.body.insertBefore(div, document.body.firstChild);
div.firstChild.addEventListener('click', runMyScript, true);
}
function runMyScript(){alert('script running');}
Main();
If you still want to go with 'keyup', you could have Main visually
alter the page so you would know when you should release the key.
