The if_gm_key mission scripting condition triggers when a key is pressed on a game master console. As noted, when monitoring for a letter key, the keyText attribute should be specified as uppercase. SHIFT+letter keypresses must be detected as a sequence of scan codes, and so should be avoided.
Unlike client keys, GM keybinds are very reliable, but if_gm_button is still considered the superior option for GM input. A keybind such as "M" is often used as an emergency shortcut to allow the GM to refresh his menu.
