keypress: Wait for a Key Press in a Terminal
Wait for a single key press at the 'R' prompt. This works in terminals, but does not currently work in the 'Windows' 'GUI', the 'macOS' 'GUI' ('R.app'), in 'Emacs' 'ESS', in an 'Emacs' shell buffer or in 'R Studio'. In these cases 'keypress' stops with an error message.
