Use Prompt while Progress/Live is running

[mon]

I cannot work out how to ask a question during a long-running task - I've tried making visible=False for all my tasks, manually refreshing, creating new Consoles and similar, but the formatting always tends to collide. Here's a simple example of what happens:

from rich.prompt import Confirm
from rich.progress import track

for s in track(['hello', 'world']):
    if not Confirm().ask('Continue?', default=True):
        break

Prints something like:

[2KContinue? [1;35m[0m [1;36m(y)[0m: Working... [38;5;237m━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━[0m [35m  0%[0m [36m-:--:--[0m
Working... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━   0% -:--:--

The escape codes aren't a bad paste - they appear visibly in the terminal.

Hey! First of all, thanks for a great tool. rich is simply amazing!

I am also very much interested in this!

I've been furiously googling to find a way of doing this, to no avail.
The need for this is certainly there, and I believe this would drive additional usage of rich.

I'm afraid that Confirm and track will not work together. Confirm calls the system input() which assumes it has complete control over the terminal.

I am working on more dynamic features for Rich, so you may be able to do something like this in the future.

Does this mean we cannot get any input with Prompt or input() using Live? I have a layout updating with Live and would like user input. Prompt seems to freeze my layout until an input is given. Is there any way to get user input inside a Layout with Live?

Not with the builtin input. Textual will have this capability eventually.
