You can paint text and draw coloured rectangles, and detect if mouse clicks are inside the coloured rectangle
Key-presses are received from events. So you first receive a key event, extract the key, and then check if it is the 'q' key.
EDIT: Added an example, it is Python2, so if you're using Python3, some minor things have to change.
