Hardware Keys
If you like to use normal hardware keys on digital ports use this schematic to connect them:
http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/DigitalReadSerial
Then remove the comment signs // in front of line:
#define HWKEYS
Define the ports to use here:
// Input pins of the hardbuttons: (used when HWKEYS is defined) #define HW_RIGHT 10 #define HW_UP 9 #define HW_DOWN 11 #define HW_LEFT 8 #define HW_SELECT 6
Shift Register LCD
Using 3 wires interface for LCD display:

Adjust the ports used here:
LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7); // rs, enable, d4, d5, d6, d7
