Would Game_text be the same entity to create the controls indications? I have a place in my map that I want to indicate to CTRL - Crouch, where it shows the CTRL key like in the game.

No. I have no idea what triggers that, it's something new and I've never used that before.

Man, the tips were messy enough in Portal. I haven't even bothered to decompile and look at whatever the heck they've done with Portal 2...might be interesting though; if some sort of custom graphic could be used it could effectively serve as a ping in singleplayer.

It was implemented in l4d2 the first time... I just tried it in Portal2 and it works fine.

I think the entity you want may be env_hudhint. It provides all the "CTRL = Crouch" style hints in the main game.

Not for Portal 2; the env_hudhint is used in HL2 and Portal, I believe.

this is what I am looking for
