You can set up a When Key Pressed hat block for each key that you want to type.  Then, to make the letter appear on the stage, you switch to a costume showing the right letter and stamp it on the stage.  There are a number of examples out there, try putting "typewriter" in the Search box and looking around.  Scratch on!

Well you could make a sprite make each costume a letter and then say when A pressed switch to costume A move 20 steps stamp then do the same for when B pressed and so on.
