What about if you use Environment.NewLine property, it returns the environment specific new line.

And for ESC:

  • Set form's KeyPreview property to true
    -  Handle form's KeyDown events
private void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) 
        { 
            if (e.KeyData == Keys.Escape) 
            { 
                Console.WriteLine("ESC pressed."); 
                e.Handled = true; 
            } 
            else 
            { 
                Console.WriteLine("Some other key pressed."); 
            } 
        }

'\r' is carriage return.
'\n' is new line.
Environment.NewLine is the sequence of one or more characters that is used to denote a new line of text for many methods, including Console.Write(). It has the value "\r\n" for Windows platforms, and "\n" for unix.

It is unfortunate that '\n' is called "new line" and Environment.NewLine is also called "new line", and they are different on some platforms (such as on Windows).

Note: "\r\n" is NOT carriage return. Carriage return is a single character, and it is '\r'.
