在WINDOWS上我这样做:

#include <Windows.h>
int main()
{
    system("PAUSE>NUL");
    if (GetKeyState(0x41/*(the 'A' key, choosen e.g.)*/) & (0xff80/*That stands for "Default state / Key Down"*/)) {
        //whatever I want to do after 'A' is pressed
    }
}

这里可以找到一个键的列表，每个键都有自己的十六进制值: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes

最接近可移植的方法是使用ncurses库将终端置于“cbreak模式”。API是巨大的;你最想要的是

Initscr和endwin 黄昏时分和黄昏时分 getch

好运！

You can do it portably using SDL (the Simple DirectMedia Library), though I suspect you may not like its behavior. When I tried it, I had to have SDL create a new video window (even though I didn't need it for my program) and have this window "grab" almost all keyboard and mouse input (which was okay for my usage but could be annoying or unworkable in other situations). I suspect it's overkill and not worth it unless complete portability is a must--otherwise try one of the other suggested solutions.

顺便说一下，这将分别提供按键和释放事件，如果你喜欢的话。

CONIO.H

你需要的函数是:

int getch();
Prototype
    int _getch(void); 
Description
    _getch obtains a character  from stdin. Input is unbuffered, and this
    routine  will  return as  soon as  a character is  available  without 
    waiting for a carriage return. The character is not echoed to stdout.
    _getch bypasses the normal buffering done by getchar and getc. ungetc 
    cannot be used with _getch. 
Synonym
    Function: getch 


int kbhit();
Description
    Checks if a keyboard key has been pressed but not yet read. 
Return Value
    Returns a non-zero value if a key was pressed. Otherwise, returns 0.

我在另一个论坛上发现了这个，当时我想解决同样的问题。根据我的发现，我做了一些修改。效果很好。我运行的是OS X，所以如果你运行的是微软，你需要找到正确的system()命令来切换到raw和cooked模式。

#include <iostream> 
#include <stdio.h>  
using namespace std;  

int main() { 
  // Output prompt 
  cout << "Press any key to continue..." << endl; 

  // Set terminal to raw mode 
  system("stty raw"); 

  // Wait for single character 
  char input = getchar(); 

  // Echo input:
  cout << "--" << input << "--";

  // Reset terminal to normal "cooked" mode 
  system("stty cooked"); 

  // And we're out of here 
  return 0; 
}

由于这里之前的解决方案不能跨平台工作，并且在特殊键上存在问题，所以这里是我的解决方案，它在Windows和Linux上都可以工作，并且使用了最少的外部库(Windows.h和Linux的sys/ioctl.h+termios.h)。

对于ASCII字符(换行符/tab/space/backspace/delete， !"#$%&'()*+，-./0-9:;<=>?@A-Z[]^_ ' a-z{|}~üäÄöÖÜßµ´§°¹³)，返回ASCII码(正数);对于特殊键(方向键、上页/下页、pos1/end、转义、插入、F1-F12)，返回Windows虚拟键码(负数)的负数。

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <thread> // contains <chrono>
using namespace std;

void println(const string& s="") {
    cout << s << endl;
}
void sleep(const double t) {
    if(t>0.0) this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds((int)(1E3*t+0.5)));
}

        println("Input is: "+to_string(key)+", \""+(char)key+"\"");
    }
    return 0;
