Never used in canon AFAIK.
I've seen *{leQ 'uy} used for "press (down) a key/button" - e.g. on your
computer keyboard {De'wI' SeHlaw} ("control panel"). One could also use
the finger verbs to be more precise when referring to keyboarding.
Cf. also {chu'wI'} "trigger" (which is a particular type of on/off switch)
and the verbs {chu'} "engage, activate (a device), turn on" and {chu'Ha'}
"deactivate, disengage, turn off".
