A: I could try to set this up in OnKeyDown, but it’s going to require a lot of copy+pasting nodes from other functions that are currently setup for UMG’s clicking.

Here’s one way to do it:

&stc=1

B: But how can the controller communicate with the widget if I can’t even get an event to call from within the widget? Widgets seem to be a one way ticket out.
C: I tried, I can send events from widgets to events in other blueprints, but I can’t receive them from inside the widget.
D: That’s what I’ve been trying to do, but I can’t receive any events in there.

There are many ways, direct communication is one of them, when you create widgets, make references and use them later to call widget’s Events from that blueprint (any blueprint):

&stc=1

You can add input to the widget’s Custom Event and send any data you need.

And here’s the right way to do it, via Dispatchers:

&stc=1
