I’m afraid I don’t. You will need to either go through the motions in the Emulation Station ‘Joypad Setup’ script, or edit the es_input.cfg file manually. Please bare in mind that the es_input.cfg file requires keyboard characters to be entered in using their ‘key code’ (for want of a better term). What I mean is that it won’t accept for example ‘W’ ‘S’ ‘A’ ‘D’ as ‘up down left right’, you need to find the key code that corresponds to the ‘W A S D’ keys and enter them. Here is an example of my own es_input.cfg file but please don’t be tempted to copy this as it will not be what you need (I created it for a wireless air mouse / keyboard / remote combo):

  <inputConfig type="keyboard" deviceName="Keyboard">
    <input name="up" type="key" id="1073741906" value="1"/>
    <input name="right" type="key" id="1073741903" value="1"/>
    <input name="down" type="key" id="1073741905" value="1"/>
    <input name="left" type="key" id="1073741904" value="1"/>
    <input name="a" type="key" id="13" value="1"/>
    <input name="b" type="key" id="1073741925" value="1"/>
    <input name="start" type="key" id="1073741926" value="1"/>
  </inputConfig>

Those long strings of numbers are key codes that were interpreted by Linux from my remote. Yours will be different no doubt.

Honestly – your best bet is to plug in the keyboard and set them up through the GUI. That way the settings should be carried through into Retroarch too for the libretro emulators, preventing you having to set those up manually too.

Good luck!
