Detect if any key is pressed in C# (not A, B, but any)

Question

[EDIT 3] I kind of "solved it" by at using the "strange" version. At least for the most important keys. It is suffient for my case, where I want to check

Quite an old question but in case anyone comes across this and doesn't want to use external dll's, you could just enumerate the possible keys and loop over them.

bool IsAnyKeyPressed()
{
    var allPossibleKeys = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Key));
    bool results = false;
    foreach (var currentKey in allPossibleKeys)
    {
        Key key = (Key)currentKey;
        if (key != Key.None)
            if (Keyboard.IsKeyDown((Key)currentKey)) { results = true; break; }
    }
    return results;
}

You could optimize this a bit by doing the enum outside of the function and retaining the list for later.
