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)

- Colorize Java

Library like Python Rich
jansi https://github.com/fusesource/jansi Allows you to use ANSI escape colorization/handling Probably insufficient for your use case though.

How do I color the output in Windows CMD / console?
In my posting I forgot to add this link here https://github.com/fusesource/jansi (it's not inserted), where import org.fusesource.jansi.AnsiConsole; and AnsiConsole.systemInstall(); are mentioned. Because of this, I think it is possible, but I don't understand how to use it.

Introducing Konsole: A Kotlin-idiomatic library for writing dynamic command line applications
There is Jansi, but code like System.out.println(ansi().eraseScreen().fg(RED).a("Hello").fg(GREEN).a(" World").reset()); looked error prone and didn't look fun to write.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Text-IO and Jansi you can also consider the following projects:
jbock - Reflectionless command line parser
ASCII Table - Several implementations of a text table, originally using ASCII and UTF-8 characters for borders.
Java ASCII Render - ASCII renderer in pure java with no external dependencies
progressbar - Terminal-based progress bar for Java / JVM
kotter - A declarative, Kotlin-idiomatic API for writing dynamic console applications.
picnic - A Kotlin DSL and Java/Kotlin builder API for constructing HTML-like tables which can be rendered to text
mosaic - An experimental tool for building console UI in Kotlin using the Jetpack Compose compiler/runtime
