IDE uses Gradle runner and getting input from within Gradle is pretty challenging. you may be able to modify the run task as per https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1251#issuecomment-459369978 but in general I wouldn't bother, it's too flaky. just run the binary from the terminal

@ephemient Thanks. Adding below line to gradle fixed the issue

tasks.named<Exec>("runDebugExecutableNative") {
    standardInput = System.`in`
}
