Wooaaaaa thar' pardner!!
If at all possible buy a new keyboard. Yes, go ahead and reinstall the game. Get back to a clean install. But not having the function of using the full keyboard is going to limit your actions and function of the game.
You will miss out on the control of the sonar bearing by not having the "home/end" keys. This is important when playing the Gato or Gar class boats, they don't allow a mouse click on the bearing dial to change the bearing direction of the sonar.
Not being able to raise the periscope with using the control key with the "page up/page down" keys. As mentioned the "+/-" keys for time compression. The "delete" key for toggling the lower hud interface to disappear/appear when you want. Trying to add these functions to an already packed keyboard will just cause you to lose some other function. It's not worth it, upgrade the keyboard.
Going to your original question of not being able to dive your ship using the keyboard keys. You do have a mouse don't you? Mouse clicking the three Hud dials (bottom right) will set any depth you want, any compass bearing you desire, at any speed that's available. The depth dial is where you can set the sub at a "deck's awash" height for specific use when it is appropriate. The point is, know what the interface will do for you, and have the right equipment sitting on your desk to make it work.
Good luck, and welcome to SubSim
