If you know python, there is a package called prompt-toolkit which does what you are looking for

Yeah .. something like that is missing in C# land (IMHO)

Depending on how much effort you want to put into it, you may be able to use prompt-toolkit with IronPython (would have to use version 2.0 of prompt-toolkit since that supports Python 2.x) and then reference that in your C# applications

It may be easier to implement now with the improvements to conhost and now Windows Terminal

Sounds like a damn new project to do :)
