How to detect which key was pressed?

Question

In the new versions of unity I've found that code such as:

 Event keyEvent;
 keyEvent = Event.current;
 
 key = keyEvent.keyCode;

No longer works, I am trying to find a way to do this now that does, hopefully, something that can be run in the update method. Anything helps :)

         foreach (int val in Enum.GetValues(typeof(KeyCode))) {
             KeyCode keyCode = (KeyCode)val;
             if (Input.GetKey(keyCode)) { // or GetKeyDown
                 key = keyCode; // catch the input
                 // break the loop?
             }
         }

Edit: Variable keyCode will catch the input from user.

So in the catch the input section, what would I be setting key to? I'm trying to use this to set a keybinding when the user clicks a button.
