If you just want to work without using Return-key, there seems to be no easy way. But you can check this post, there are several approaches explained: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/510357/JUMP_LINK__&&__python__&&__JUMP_LINK-read-a-single-character-from-the-user

swim....ah...didn't notice you already had the [0] in you original response..forgive me. I just realised what Lilas was looking for....(although a python version) When using getch() from the conio header file..there is no need to hit "enter" after entering a character...but.......my code snippet doesn't do that.....sorry Lilas.

Wasn't sure if this would work...but... had a go and it does actually work.. myinput = input()[0] print(myinput)
