detect key press

I have a code where I do something when a Key is pressed

if (Console.ReadKey(true).Key == ConsoleKey.G)
{
    Logger.Trace("Opening the GUI...");
}

How to detect if key is pressed by using character as A-B? I store shortcut letter in file and want to know if pressed but need to detect it by string and not ConsoleKey.

You can use char.IsLetter() to check if its an alphabet

    ConsoleKeyInfo keyinfo;
    Console.ReadKey();
    while (!(Console.KeyAvailable  ))
    {
        keyinfo = Console.ReadKey();
        if (char.IsLetter(Console.ReadKey().KeyChar))
        {  
        }
    }

Save the Console.ReadKey result into a string variable and append further keystrokes and check with 

if(inputString.Contains(key)){
  doSomething()
}
