If statement with keyboard keyPressed()

I have included the code just to make it easier to explain what i am trying to do as i am now thinking scrap most of this code and do it a different way so if someone could point me in the right direction i would be grateful . So i am now thinking to get a letter and number input from arduino such as “ght19.5” (That bit i am ok with) and the processing code will interpret this as --Greenhouse temp is 19.5-- and move the pointer accordingly . if your wondering not using serial out from arduino because i am hopping to add lot of sensors and i think it would get messy
Thankyou for your time

Do you mean something like that?

Here is a very basic text editor:

void setup() {
  size(960,540);
  textSize(14);
}
void draw() {
  background(25);
  text(text,10,20);
}
void keyPressed() {
  if(!(key == '')) text = text + key; //adds a character
  if(key == '') text = text.substring( 0, text.length()-1 ); //removes one
  println(key); //unncessary :3
}
