Terminal in the output console

CLion emulates terminal in the output console to help you work with text-based user interfaces (TUI), for example, curses/ncurses applications. This behavior is enabled by default (see how to disable it).

The availability of this feature depends on the OS, debugger, and toolchain you are using. It also depends on whether there is an input redirection and whether the running process is being run with administrator rights. Find details in the tables below:

Linux
