New to Java

Does anyone have any ideas on how to approach this? From searching, everyone says that in Java a keylogger is not possible, because the read() method and its derivatives would still require a newline for input. This means that the user needs to press Enter.

Someone suggested Thread, but I was only up to the point where I call interrupt() on the single thread and I got lost afterward.

The workaround is just to ask the user to press Enter

public boolean pressEnterToContinue() {
        boolean enterIsPressed = false;
        System.out.println("Press Enter to continue");
       
        try {
            System.in.read();
            enterIsPressed = true;
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Program error.");
            System.exit(1);
        }
        return enterIsPressed;
    }

but if you have any other suggestions on how to go about it, I would appreciate it.
