🚀 Why Choose This Implementation?

Superior Key Coverage

// Supports keys that are problematic in standard WinForms:

Enhanced Reliability

Console input handling provides more consistent key detection compared to traditional WinForms key events, especially for complex combinations and system-level keys.
