Suggest this not take a key assignment by default; since this will be unsed only by serious programmers, and every programmer will undoubtedly reassign this anyhow, no need to waste a valuable default key.

The user will get the input message shown above the command line, the command line will open at the usual place, but you could also clear the console and print perhaps 2 or 3 lines with an explanation of what your program is asking of the user.
So you would see the explanation from the top, then the prompt and the command line at the bottom.

Clever idea! Most programs don't provide useful prompts because it's a PITA to do so; this will take the pain out of providing useful prompts and/or pop-up help, when used with the console 'activation' key discussed above.
