getting a program to accept input whether or not text is typed directly in cmd

hey im pretty new at programming and idk if this is obvious, but im creating a program that is really just for me inputting data from the internet, but when im on a page i dont want to have to re-maximize command prompt so i can type the input. is there a way that i can have the program to wait for a specific char or string to be entered and then execute/process it even when my keystrokes aren't being typed directly into command prompt?
