  Terminal UI library with rich, interactive widgets — written in Golang

It is not clear exactly how you are doing this, but I'm going to guess you are printing to the terminal and then reading from it. The short answer is that what you are asking for is impossible with that technique. You need a library that implements it, because it requires a whole lot of obscure knowledge that is largely a waste of time to obtain when you can outsource it to a library. I've used tview successfully. tcell provides a lower level interface that tview is built on top of that does more exactly the thing you're asking, but redoing your app entirely in terms of tview is probably a good idea.
