The "keypress" parser was moved from the "tty" module to the "readline" module, since that was the only place it was really being used. This means that arbitrary Stream instances can work with the readline module by emitting "keypress" events, but that `process.stdin` doesn't emit this event unless it is also being used by the readline module.
As Tim already said, put stdin in raw mode and then listen for the "data" events. Usually you only care about Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D or Q, and those are easy enough to detect without needed a full-blown "keypress" parser. Though a nice user-land "keypress" module is inevitable at this point, but that's ok because it could innovate faster than core can, and could include nice features like mouse clicking and things like that.
