Someone in the newsgroup for your OS can. C++ has no means to control
hardware. Besides, there is no concept of "keyboard" or "screen" in
C++ language.

There may be. The secret code Victor used, OS, stands for operating system.
That means post a question where your compiler or OS is germane, Not
language, *compiler*. The C *language* doesn't even acknowledge the
existence of the arrow keys.
