Can't you add listeners for both keyboard and mouse events, and call a shared 'handler' from there on?

...

stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

private function clickHandler(e:MouseEvent):void {
   inputHandler(e, 'mouse');
}

private function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void {
   inputHandler(e, 'keyboard');
}

private function inputHandler(e:Event, type:String):void {
   // Do logic here
}

In my experience, usually, it might be done with implementing some common used InputManager, which can save information about pressed keys/mouse buttons and other classes might get this information through methods, something like:

checkIfKeyPressed(keyCode:int):boolean
{
}

Also, if you need to know about only some specific keys (e.g. alt, ctrl, cmd, shift, etc.), there are some public properties in the MouseEvent objects, which can help you (e.g. altKey, ctrlKey, shiftKey, etc.).
