The replacement for KeyDown would be the InputBegan event of UserInputService.
How it works is whenever any type of input is used then the event will provide the function with the input information which is in a dictionary and if the event was game processed already. The input dictionary provides Delta, KeyCode, Position, UserInputState, and UserInputType. The information you would need for key pressing would be the KeyCode. The boolean commonly known as game processed will be true if say a user were typing in a text box or pressing a Roblox hotkey such as i, o, /, etc. If you plan on making a custom chat bar, I would recommend using TextBoxFocused and TextBoxFocusReleased events.
game:GetService('UserInputService').InputBegan:connect(function(Input,GameProcessed) --We're setting up the event to run a function each time the client hits a button.
if Input.KeyCode --[[This is the dictionary, we are comparing the KeyCode information in the dictionary.]] == Enum.KeyCode.T then --So now, if the client hits t, the if statement will run.
print('T was pressed!')
end
end)
Just a note, this script must be in a LocalScript, otherwise it will not work. Modify it to your preferences.

You can use this,
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Open = false
function PressQ(key)-- Key that is fired when pressed. You can change it!
if (key == "q") then -- Change this if you changed the Q key.
if (Open == false) then
Open = true
elseif (Open == true) then
Open = false
end
end
end
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(PressQ) -- Change this also if you changed the key.
