I am reading that the prohibition against taking an object to the street, in case that street is less than 800 meters wide, is only a rabbinical prohibition. So, does it mean that when I was aiming to convert and took the keys along the streets here, I didn't violate Shabat according to the Torah? Can it be considered that I kept Shabat while being a goy? Can the Rav here clarify please?

It's not enough just to do one prohibition and then otherwise keep Sabbath like a Jew. You should just be working like it's a regular day.
And if you want to commemorate shabbos you can do so in your own way, but not from refraining from work as a Jew does.

It is true, however, that in most cases your carrying would only be a Rabbinic prohibition.

But don't worry about what you did in the past. You didn't know. But until you are Jewish you should not be even doing things that resemble what a Jew would do on Shabbos.

In fact I don't do anything like a Jew now. Since March 7th 2004, when I decided to remain a Noahide, I just work as any other day on Saturdays. I kept nearly all rules before, because my Rav said that I needed to get used for when I converted. He said carrying the keys was enogh violation. But surely he didn't realize that streets here are not so wide. So, can a Rabbinic violation be enough not to be considered a full Shabbos? A full Shabbos is dangerous for a Gentile's soul!!!!!!

Regret. Resolve not to do it in the future. And move on. Teshuva trancends the laws of the Torah, so don't worry about it. :)
