Yeah. It is more complex than you'd think but my terminal library 
can do it:

https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/terminal.d

Example usage:

import terminal;

void main() {
  auto terminal = Terminal(ConsoleOutputType.linear);

  // gives real time input capability
  auto input = RealTimeConsoleInput(&terminal, 
ConsoleInputFlags.raw);

  // write to them
  terminal.writeln("Press any key to exit");

  // get a single key
  auto ch = input.getch();
  terminal.writeln("Bye!");
}
