Is there any way to use standard C++ to wait for user input? And by input I don't mean just the enter key, I mean ANY key will continue executing code. I know about the conio.h and Windows.h libraries but those aren't standard C++ and I really want to get out of the habit of using them.

No I think you have to use the OS API.
Sorry.

I'm not that good with streams and such, but you could try using istream::get or getc if you are using cstdio .
