Are there any keyboards that also charge the nexus while in use available for the nexus? Thanks in advance

there has been some chatter over at XDA about simultaneous data and charging over the microUSB connection and their conclusion seems to be you will need to root the N7 and install a modified kernal written by a poster Timur there. Read the thread and decide if you want to proceed. You can then use a powered hub with keyboard and whatever installed and charge at the same time.
USB OTG Cable host mode while charging anyone try this accessory? - xda-developers
Can you charge & USB Host mode simultaneously? - Nexus 7 - RootzWiki - Page 4
I have this hub and it works well in general (I am not rooted so no exp with the above) and it provides enough power to charge the N7 without being overloaded (burns out hubs)
