which function should i use for tracking alphabets

I don't know what you mean by "tracking alphabets". I would suggest you follow the link to all the keyboard functions above, and see if one of them provides what you want.

I mean to say tracking which alphabet is pressed in the keyboard

That makes no sense; the keyboard is just a set of buttons, and each one has a unique value. One of the keyboard functions, in the link I gave you, will tell you which key is pressed at any time.
