Question How do I read what user writes in the console (before hitting enter)?

[LegitMeme]

I am trying to make the color of text change when the user inputs a certain word in the console (before they hit enter) so it'll come out a certain color, I searched on google and saw no one has an answer.

Is there any way to do this?

            if ('input text before enter' == "Exit") {
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
            }

You would have read each key as they type it and keep a record of the entire text entered and see if it was a match after each key.

But how do you read a key?
