Right, but readln will only wait until the user presses the

The documentation for std.stdio.File shows two functions for
reading input: readln and readf. If readln isn't what you want,
then readf probably is:
https://dlang.org/phobos/std_stdio.html#.File.readf
Also, there's a freely available book online to help get you up
to speed: Programming in D. Here's the section on reading from
stdin with readf:
http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/input.html
Sorry, I just noticed the book doesn't cover how to do what you
want and it's probably not obvious. You need to call readf with a
character format string (%c):
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
writeln("Press any key to continue...");
char c;
readf("%c", &c);
writeln("Thanks!");
}
