I'd like to get a character from stdin, perform some action, get another

This is exactly what you need:

Title: "getch()-like unbuffered character reading from stdin on both
Windows and Unix"

This recipe was a lifesaver for me once :-)

Thanks for the link! I've seen this question before a few times, but no one had pointed out the recipe.
