Function like kbhit(), but for deployed console applications.

I'd like to use the kbhit() (See link below) function in a deployed console application so that I can detect a user keypress while the application is running in a loop.

kbhit uses the line:

mde = com.mathworks.mde.desk.MLDesktop.getInstance;

but that doesn't exist in the deployed console environment. Anyone know the equivalent object or another alternative?
