There are no standard procedures in Ada for a live keyboard.  Our 
solution was to write package IMMEDIATE_IO which is a TEXT_IO clone
(and interchangeable with TEXT_IO) which passes all calls except 
actual GETs and PUTs to TEXT_IO, GETs and PUTs are processed by direct
QIOW's.  I have beta-test quality versions for both DEC Ada and ALS/N
ADAVAX.
