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".
