It is not a trivial task, even in the days of teletypes, it was not. As for
alternatives, Ada or not, use ncurses if you have to stay console-only, or
a console terminal emulator, see below.
Better make a proper GUI using GTK, Qt, WinGDI or gnoga. All have Ada
interfaces, of course.
Any such library provides an abstraction level between your application and
the input devices.
AFAIK, there exist some implementations of famous MS-DOS ANSI.SYS for
Win32. E.g.
https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon
Never tried it, though.
