Press enter only

I want to code a loop which only takes spacebar for the code to loop. E.g. While (true) { Console.ReadKey(" ") loop... } However, this isint working.

That code won't compile, did you look at the documentation for ReadKey? You want something like:

while (true)
{
    var key = Console.ReadKey();
    if (key.KeyChar == ' ')
    {
        Console.WriteLine("😎");
    }
}

while (true)
{
    var key = Console.ReadKey();
    if (key.KeyChar == ' ')
    {
        Console.WriteLine("😎");
    }
}

If you want to check for the Enter key being pressed you can do:

while (true)
{
    var key = Console.ReadKey();
    if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.Enter)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("😎");
    }
}

while (true)
{
    var key = Console.ReadKey();
    if (key.Key == ConsoleKey.Enter)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("😎");
    }
}

@Kapa._ BTW you might want to pass true to Console.ReadKey. That will prevent the keypresses from being printed to the screen.
