I don't think there is an official way to make a custom keyboard
layout. So I think you should be tackling this in some other way. Such
as having some buttons you can press or areas on the screen you can
press.

From what I can understand you are trying to navigate something using the keys.

Not knowing the context I could suggest something like, on the edges
of the view having areas that are indicated for navigation by using
some arrows so that the user knows when pushing these areas the
context will be navigated.

Let me try illustrating using some nice ASCII art :D

Imagine this is an iPhone:
