Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. AnsiConsoleSettings lets you replace the output sink through Out (IAnsiConsoleOutput), but there is no equivalent for input. When you call AnsiConsole.Create(...), the resulting console always builds its own DefaultInput, which reads from System.Console. There is no supported way to make Spectre read input from somewhere else. This is a problem for any application whose standard input is unavailable or reserved for another purpose. A Git credential helper, for example, talks to Git over its own stdin/stdout using the credential protocol, so it must not read stdin for UI. Output can already be redirected to the controlling terminal (/dev/tty on POSIX, CONIN$/CONOUT$ on Windows) via Settings.Out, but input cannot, because there is no Settings.In. Describe the solution you'd like Add an In property to AnsiConsoleSettings, symmetric with the existing Out: public IAnsiConsoleInput? In { get; set; } When set, AnsiConsole.Create(s
