You can't use Z directly, but Alt+Z will work. DS's keyboard macro support in the current version doesn't handle letter keys directly, but always uses Alt.

According to the documentation, Return (capital R) is a valid key for macroing. Seems fishy to me, but you can try it.

Yes. This file will tell you all the keys that can be used for macros:

http://www.byond.com/docs/notes/macro.html

It's a useful file, worth a bookmark.

In order to use macros you need to either have the player use the ALT+[key] combo, or set the command_text to macro mode (Ex: client.command_text="alt. ").
If you do not wish to keep the player in macro-mode you could always toy around with the directional buttons.
Ex: 
client
    Center()
       mob.Bomb()

Enabling you to use the 1,3,5,7 and 9 keys on your numpad along with the spacebar without having to use ALT or macro-mode. But this would also disable diagonal movement.
