On the host, you can access stdin: https://pkg.toit.io/github.com/toitlang/[email protected]/docs/host/pipe/library-summary#stdin(0%2C0%2C0%2C)

I'm not sure if that allows you to read individual characters, or if that only gives you lines ( @erikcorry might know).

On the device we haven't exposed the input-pin yet.
You can work around it, by changing the sdkconfig so that the logging UART RX goes to a different (unused) pin, and then opening another UART on the actual RX pin.

It should give you individual characters but if stdin is a TTY then the tty settings will determine if it's line buffered, normally it is.(edited)
