Returns
- ConsoleKeyInfo
An object that describes the ConsoleKey constant and Unicode character, if any, that correspond to the pressed console key. The ConsoleKeyInfo object also describes, in a bitwise combination of ConsoleModifiers values, whether one or more Shift, Alt, or Ctrl modifier keys was pressed simultaneously with the console key.
Exceptions
The In property is redirected from some stream other than the console.
Examples

The following example uses the ReadKey() method to wait for the user to press the Enter key before terminating the app.

Note that this overload of the ReadKey method by default echoes any displayable keys that the user presses to the console. To suppress them, call the ReadKey method with an intercept argument of true.
The following example uses the ReadKey() method to display information about which key the user pressed.
Remarks
The ReadKey method waits, that is, blocks on the thread issuing the ReadKey method, until a character or function key is pressed. A character or function key can be pressed in combination with one or more Alt, Ctrl, or Shift modifier keys. However, pressing a modifier key by itself will not cause the ReadKey method to return.
Depending on your application, you might want to use the ReadKey method in conjunction with the KeyAvailable property.
The ReadKey method reads from the keyboard even if the standard input is redirected to a file with the SetIn method.
