i have an arduino uno and nothing in
Keyboard.write() - Arduino Reference sais anything about being only for the leonardo.
do i need a leonardo board or is there a bootloader i can burn that will put leonardo on uno?
My comment below is in error, see below ... my apologies.
The main page for keyboard MouseKeyboard says this is for 32u4 boards, ie Duo and Zero. Therefore it is not meant for 8bit varieties duch as Uno or Leonardo.
Try googling for it. Also, this thread might help: Anyone know a USB keyboard library for Arduino UNO? - Project Guidance - Arduino Forum
can i get a 32u4 chip and burn bootloader to it and run a 32u4 in a uno?
or do you know of an hid shield?
You might give this a try: GitHub - NicoHood/HID: Bring enhanced HID functions to your Arduino!
Micros are great! All the functionality of the Uno/Leonardo plus extra pins. It also gives you one more effective serial port.
what about the lillypads will any them support keyboard write?

Wrong. A Leonardo and an Arduino Micro both use this chip.
If you bother to read what it says, you would read:-
These core libraries allow a 32u4 based boards or Due and Zero
Lilypad USB (as well as Micro, Leo, and many others) use the 32u4 chip.
