There are now changes to make csoundKeyPress() work, and also for stdin
the same code is used on OS X as on Linux (if __unix is not defined on
the Mac, then it was not the case until now, and the generic "default"
code with getchar() is not really useful because it reads stdin in
buffered and blocking mode).
Note: it is recommended to send a null character with csoundKeyPress()
after calling csoundCompile(), this will prevent the opcode from trying
to fiddle with stdin and will always use the value set through the API.
I did not test stdin on Win32 yet, so that may still be buggy.

I do not really know why the API needs to be changed for that. It should
be easy to write a simple utility that uses FLTK and PortMidi to display
a piano keyboard, sense keyboard, and send MIDI events. In fact, I already
wrote one earlier, but that used Gtk 1.2 and ALSA which is not portable.
