Read a character from standard input in Go (without pressing Enter)

Question

I want to my app shows:

press any key to exit ...

And when I pressed any key, it exits.

How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

termbox-go is a light-weight Go-native package which offers some rudimentary terminal control. Including the ability to get input in raw mode (read one character at a time without the default line-buffered behaviour).

It also has fairly ok compatibility across different systems.

And keyboard extends termbox-go to give some additional keyboard functionality like multi-key shortcuts and sequences.
