You can use getch() or getche() functions defined in the conio.h library. For more information and difference between these two functions, check out the link below: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-uses-of-getche-in-C++

AliR૯za I've had the same doubts in the past. Although getch() works, remember that it isn't standard C++ (and hence whatever isn't should be avoided if possible). Some has claimed that std::cin.get() or getchar() can be feasible replacements, but these functions do echo the keyboard hit onto the terminal. If you have to use getch(), just keep in mind the cons that come along. https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/210329/?ref=app https://www.sololearn.com/Discuss/302236/?ref=app

What you might want is usually called raw input because it won't be buffered nor processed by the OS. While reading the other answers I was a little surprised that Windows can't offer such simple solutions as Linux. However when looking for raw input on Windows I found this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/inputdev/raw-input Maybe it's a bit complicated to use but it should be the best standardized solution for Windows.

Which OS do you use? Input will be handled differently depending on that...
