I had a similar problem. Code looking like yours worked fine in an xterm, but
not in a bash inside a windows console. After a bit trial and error i found
this code working well in both cases:
struct termios ttystate;
// get the terminal state
tcgetattr(STDIN_FILENO, &ttystate);
// turn off canonical mode
ttystate.c_lflag &= ~ICANON;
// minimum number of characters for non-canonical read
ttystate.c_cc[VMIN] = 0;
// timeout in deciseconds for non-canonical read
ttystate.c_cc[VTIME] = 0;
int oldstat = fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_GETFL, 0 );
fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_SETFL, oldstat | O_NONBLOCK );
