You could use UserInputService or ContextActionService

UserInputService:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then 
		print("Space!")
	end
end)

ContextActionService:

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

function Space(ActionName,InputState,InputObject)
	if InputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then -- Will only run the code when the user presses the key, remove this line if you want it to run the code when the user presses and releases the key.
		print("Space!")
	end
end

--[[
	1st Parameter: ActionName
	2st Parameter: FunctionToBind
	3rd Parameter: CreateTouchButton
	4rd Parameter: InputType
]]

ContextActionService:BindAction("Space",Space,false,Enum.KeyCode.Space)
