Looking for Kotlin Console UI libraries that work in IDE Terminal
I'm currently using Picnic and Mordant which are working nicely. I've tried out Kotter and Text-IO, but they either open a Swing terminal or require you to run a `.bat` script or something.

run code in cmd
Alternatively, if you want to do something overkill, you could just refactor the program to make it open a GUI-based terminal instead (such as this: https://github.com/beryx/text-io)
