How to detect "Enter" in C# console?

Question

I'm fairly new to C#, and I would be happy if you could help me with this.

I'm trying to detect when the Enter key is pressed.

Console.Write("**Press Enter**" "to do this" or "**Press Esc**" "to do that");

We usually use the readline after that, but only if the user will write something.

This time I want to detect if the user has pressed Enter or Esc.

Try something like this:

ConsoleKeyInfo cki = Console.ReadKey(true);

switch (cki.Key)
{
    case ConsoleKey.Enter:
        Console.WriteLine("Enter key has been pressed");
        break;
    case ConsoleKey.Escape:
        Console.WriteLine("Escape key has been pressed");
        break;
    default:
        Console.WriteLine("Please press Enter or Esc");
        break;
}
