Why won't Keyboard.IsKeyDown work?

I was trying to use Keyboard.IsKeyDown to detect keys and it says keyboard doesn't exist despite my having using System.Windows.Input. Why is this/ what could I do to fix this?

I think it's because its a windows-only dll?

We use Console.ReadKey() around here.

What should I do if I want to detect multiple keys at the same time such as w or s?

I recommend you at least develop this locally

if you have a windows computer, try using .NET
