i have a working c kernel implementation, and i want to know how to read key presses.

example: when the user presses f5 i want it to call another c function.

Have a look at the OSdev Wiki.

Basically you want an interrupt handler and a driver for your keyboard. Good luck :p

how exactly would i implement that? i read through the article and the linked ones. i'm new to writing OSs and it doesn't make very much sense.
